Remove helper function (CalculateEstimateType) for determining whether
estimates should be conservative or not, now that this is only called
once from GetMinimumFee and incorporate the logic directly there.
This fixes buggy behavior where we were temporarily setting and unsetting the
global payTxFee when trying to send a transaction with a custom fee from the
GUI. The previous behavior was inconsistent depending on the order of using the
RPC call settxfee and clicking various radio buttons in the sendcoinsdialog.
The new behavior is that transactions sent with the GUI will always use either
the smartfee slider value or the custom fee set on the GUI and they will not
affect the global defaults which are only for RPC and initial GUI values.

Some people keep thinking that MAX_BLOCK_BASE_SIZE is a separate
size limit from the weight limit when it fact it is superfluous,
and used in early tests before the witness data has been
validated or just to compute worst case sizes. The size checks
that use it would not behave any differently consensus wise
if they were eliminated completely.
Its correct value is not independently settable but is a function
of the weight limit and weight formula.
This patch just eliminates it and uses the scale factor as
required to compute the worse case constants.
It also moves the weight factor out of primitives into consensus,
which is a more logical place for it.

Due to the iterative process of selecting new coins in each loop a new fee is
calculated that needs to be met each time. In the typical case if the most
recent iteration of the loop produced a much smaller transaction and we have now
gathered inputs with too many fees, we can just reduce the change. However in
the case where there is no change output, it is possible to end up with a
transaction which drastically overpays fees. This commit addresses that case,
by creating a change output if the overpayment is large enough to support it,
this is accomplished by rerunning the transaction creation loop without
selecting new coins.
Thanks to instagibbs for working on this as well
That OP_NOP10 is the last executable opcode is a bit of a obscure trivia, and the MAX_OPCODE constant already exists. This merely standardizes use of MAX_OPCODE over OP_NOP10 where it makes sense and is more clear.
Add support for setting each of these attributes on a per RPC call basis to sendtoaddress, sendmany, fundrawtransaction (already had RBF), and bumpfee (already had RBF and conf target).
Note that the CScheduler thread cant be running at this point,
it has already been stopped with the rest of the init threadgroup.
Thus, just calling any remaining loose callbacks during Shutdown()
is sane.
This will be used by CValidationInterface soon.
This requires a bit of work as we need to ensure that most of our
callbacks happen in-order (to avoid synchronization issues in
wallet) - we keep our own internal queue and push things onto it,
scheduling a queue-draining function immediately upon new
callbacks.
