Summary

Update the codebase to use a feerate for asburdly large fees. In order to simplify wallet fee handling, we removed (in D1800) the wallet-specific mintxfee in favor of only using the minimum relay fee, as the codebase used the maximum of these two amounts. Now, the wallet still uses a maximum fee which is a flat amount, rather than a feerate. This means GetMinimumFee must return an Amount, rather than a FeeRate.

Requiring an Amount from GetRequiredFee inhibits further simplification of the wallet fee handling code.

Depends on D1936

doc/release-notes.md
11 ↗	(On Diff #5501)	Instead of WARNING, maybe we should start using a format like: Backwards-incompatible or otherwise breaking changes: ... Other features and fixes: ... Thoughts?
src/config.cpp
84 ↗	(On Diff #5501)	Should this be `>=` to prevent weird edge cases? Maybe something to look at for a separate diff.
src/validation.h
71 ↗	(On Diff #5501)	update this comment to mention sats/kB
448 ↗	(On Diff #5501)	I think nAbsurdFee should be removed since there is access to config in this function. It also makes this code less error-prone since nAbsurdFee defaults to 0, which you probably don't want in most circumstances?

src/config.cpp
84 ↗	(On Diff #5501)	Why would we want the min and max to be the empty set?
src/validation.h
448 ↗	(On Diff #5501)	nAbsurdFee here should probably just not even be checked, since if a transaction is being relayed to us we shouldn't care. That's up for the wallet to figure out. However, I don't think it's a good idea to change it in this diff.

doc/release-notes.md
6 ↗	(On Diff #5532)	This needs to be moved to the backwards-incompatible section.
src/config.cpp
84 ↗	(On Diff #5501)	Exactly? With the code written here, fee can be equal to minFeePerKB and still return true.
