879243e81f qa refactor: wait_for_rpc_connection - Treat OSErrors the same (Hodlinator)
Pull request description:
Improves handling of startup errors in functional tests and puts tests in place to ensure knock-on errors don't creep in.
- `wait_for_rpc_connection()` now appends specific failures leading up to the `Unable to connect to bitcoind` error to that error message:
`[node 0] Unable to connect to bitcoind after 60s (ignored errors: {'missing_credentials': 1, 'OSError.ECONNREFUSED': 239}, latest error: ConnectionRefusedError(111, 'Connection refused'))`
- Fixes Windows Python issue where `socket.timeout` exceptions end up with unset `errno`-fields.
- Also adds comments, refactors code, improves logging.
The underlying purpose is to ensure developer efficiency in finding root causes of test failures.
Prior iterations of the PR partially focused on fixing the same issue as #31620.
Originally inspired by #30390.
### Testing
Can be tested by reverting either faf2f2c654 or fae3bf6b87 from #31620, or the "qa: Avoid calling stop-RPC if not connected" from this PR, and running *feature_framework_startup_failures.py*.

Code review ACK 10845cd7cc. Only changes since last review were adding a new commit tweaking assert_raises_message(), extending the new test to have a self-check, and to pass through all options to child tests instead of a hardcoded list of options. I left some cleanup suggestions below but they are not important.
