Merge #12843: [tests] Test starting bitcoind with -h and -version

Summary:
63048ec73d [tests] Test starting bitcoind with -h and -version (John Newbery)

Pull request description:

Test that starting bitcoind/bitcoin-qt with `-h` and `-version` works as expected.

Prompted by https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10762#commitcomment-28345993, which is a nullpointer dereference triggered by starting bitcoin-qt with `-h`.

On master, this test passes when run over bitcoind, but fails when running over bitcoin-qt. I used xvfb as a virtual frame buffer to test:

```

Passes for bitcoind and bitcoin-qt when run on #12836.

Longer term, we should consider running functional tests over bitcoin-qt in one of the Travis jobs.

Test Plan:

test_runner.py should also run the feature_help.py test and pass
test_runner.py feature_help should run and pass
