The value of DEFAULT_INCREMENTAL_RELAY_FEE has never been tuned for
Dogecoin since porting from Bitcoin Core 0.14. Even though the dual
meaning of this parameter is suboptimal, it can still be tuned.
This commit sets the value to 1/10th of DEFAULT_MIN_RELAY_TX_FEE
from validation.h, which causes:
1. Mempool limiting to be performed in steps of 0.0001 DOGE/kb
instead of 0.00001 DOGE/kb
2. RBF to be accepted by the mempool if the new fee is at least
0.0001 DOGE/kb higher than the previous fee known to the
mempool
3. RBF to be cheaper than CPFP by a factor 10 (as the latter would
require a fee of more than 0.001 DOGE/kb on a subsequent bumping
transaction), to encourage mempool replacement over prioritizing
through additional transactions that need to be mined.
4. Mempool limiting to be 10x faster to reset to zero than before,
because for bitcoin, fee increments equaled their minimum fee,
but for us this was 1/100th.
mempool_tests.cpp has been reworked a bit to reflect the reality
of having a lower increment than the minimum fee, as even though
this already was the case, this was not tested correctly due to the
static values in the unit test.
Fee estimation can just check its own mapMemPoolTxs to determine the same information. Note that now fee estimation for block processing must happen before those transactions are removed, but this shoudl be a speedup.

The score index is meant to represent the order of priority for being included in a block for miners. Initially this is set to the transactions modified (by any feeDelta) fee rate. Index improvements and unit tests by sdaftuar.
Associate with each CTxMemPoolEntry all the size/fees of descendant
mempool transactions. Sort mempool by max(feerate of entry, feerate
of descendants). Update statistics on-the-fly as transactions enter
or leave the mempool.
Also add ancestor and descendant limiting, so that transactions can
be rejected if the number or size of unconfirmed ancestors exceeds
a target, or if adding a transaction would cause some other mempool
entry to have too many (or too large) a set of unconfirmed in-
mempool descendants.
This fixes a subtle bug involving block re-orgs and non-standard transactions.
Start with a block containing a non-standard transaction, and
one or more transactions spending it in the memory pool.
Then re-org away from that block to another chain that does
not contain the non-standard transaction.
Result before this fix: the dependent transactions get stuck
in the mempool without their parent, putting the mempool
in an inconsistent state.
Tested with a new unit test.
