"""Test fee estimates persistence.

By default, bitcoind will dump fee estimates on shutdown and
then reload it on startup.

Test is as follows:

  - start node0
  - call the savefeeestimates RPC and verify the RPC succeeds and
    that the file exists
  - make the file read only and attempt to call the savefeeestimates RPC
    with the expecation that it will fail
  - move the read only file and shut down the node, verify the node writes
    on shutdown a file that is identical to the one we saved via the RPC
