    Do a better job of ignoring pylint no-member errors
    
    Several files had pylint no-member disabled for the entire file
    to avoid a few specific false positives for the test. This will
    prevent us finding genuine bugs in those files. Instead, add a
    project level `.pylintrc` which lists specific member names
    that pylint has trouble with as generated-members.
    
    The only risk with this is if there happens to be a genuine
    no-member error for a different member with the same name as
    one of these whitelisted members, but that seems like a smaller
    risk than the risk of there being a genuine no-member error in
    any of the files where we were turning the check off for the
    entire file. This will also avoid the same errors in files which
    didn't have a file-wide no-member, including all the tests.
    
    Most of these false positives are caused by modules being clever
    about stuff and may not be possible for pylint to fix, but one
    does seem like a straight-up pylint bug, and I've reported it:
    
    https://github.com/PyCQA/pylint/issues/1165
    
    for that one I added a single-line disable of no-members instead
    of including __members__ in the `generated-members` list.
