MiniWallet's core method for creating txs (`create_self_transfer`)
right now always executes the `testmempoolaccept` RPC to check for
mempool validity or invalidity. In some test cases where we use
MiniWallet to create a huge number of transactions this can lead
to performance issues (e.g. feature_fee_estimation.py where the
execution time after MiniWallet usage almost doubled). Providing
the possibility to skip the mempool checks is a mitigation for
this.
