test: speed up wallet_address_types by whitelisting peers (immediate tx relay)

approaches another part of bitcoin#16613 ("Functional test suite bottlenecks") As for wallet_backup.py (Commit 581c9be), the bottleneck is in relaying transactions. By whitelisting the peers, the inventory is transmissioned immediately rather than on average every 5 seconds, speeding up the test significantly: before: $ time ./wallet_address_types.py real 1m30.072s user 0m6.478s sys 0m2.298s with this PR: $ time ./wallet_address_types.py real 0m26.785s user 0m5.525s sys 0m1.888s
