test: Remove thread_local from test_bitcoin #14985

1. 
   MarcoFalke commented at 3:39 PM on December 17, 2018: member

   thread_local seems to be highly controversial according to the discussion in #14953, so remove it again from the tests.

   Also remove boost::thread_group in the test that uses it, since I am touching it anyway.

   Would make sense to add a warning comment for these helper functions to only use them from the main thread.
