"""Test spending coinbase transactions.

The coinbase transaction in block N can appear in block
N+100... so is valid in the mempool when the best block
height is N+99.
This test makes sure coinbase spends that will be mature
in the next block are accepted into the memory pool,
but less mature coinbase spends are NOT.
