Right now there are two hash256(bytes) in the test framework:
first: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/test/functional/test_framework/util.py#L186
second: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/test/functional/test_framework/messages.py#L60
While they have the same name they're actually doing different things, one just does a sha256d and the other sha256d and reverses the bytes.
so I renamed the second one to be hash256_reversed to signify that it's hash256 reversed.
