This allows running tests that do not require, e.g., bitcoind, without having to run these setup fixtures at all.

Prior to this commit, the tumbler algorithm assumed that destination
mixdepths of INTERNAL transactions were incremented by 1, but the
underlying taker code uses (mod maxmixdepth) logic always. This commit
takes the decision to make the usage of the wallet "purely" cyclic, that
is, not only the Taker object but also the tumbler algorithm now always
treat the wallet as a cycle. This is not problematic in a tumbler
algorith (or any other schedule generation algorithm), as long as we use
the strict rule of "always exit each mixdepth with a sweep", which the
tumbler always did and this commit does not change.
Also, and importantly, several much more detailed tests of the tumbler
schedule generation have been added.
To facilitate easier management by users and to
follow generally accepted standards, this PR moves
the following all to user home directory, subdir
.joinmarket :
joinmarket.cfg file
wallets/ directory
logs/ directory
cmtdata/ directory
commitmentlist file
User can override location with --datadir option.
An info message is added on startup showing location.
The schedule format gets an extra field added denoting the number of
significant figures to round the coinjoin amounts to, with 16 meaning
no rounding.

The tumbler schedule is split into two stages. Stage 2 is the same
as before while stage 1 attempts to fully spend each mixdepth in a
sweep coinjoin with no change address.
The wait time between these stage 1 coinjoins is longer than for
stage 2 coinjoins, the increase is determined by a new parameter
called `stage1_timelambda_increase`.

Prior to this commit, the test function test_tumble_tweak in
jmclient/test_schedule.py would occasionally fail due to the
creation of a schedule with less than 7 transactions, resulting
in an index error when trying to tweak the remaining schedule
entries (of which there were none). Here we bump the number of
mixdepths to make this probabilistically infeasible.
