Resolves #1429.
This becomes more important in current high fee environment. For example,
estimatesmartfee 3
currently returns feerate around 164 sat/vB. With 20% defaulttx_fee_factor
it means actual feerate used can go as low as 132 sat/vB, which is big difference. With simple non-cj sends people could bump fee with RBF if tx is not confirmed for too long, but not so with coinjoins, including payjoins. We are already randomizing only upwardsmempoolminfee
.I wanted to do this after #1462, but that may take a lot of time and this seems urgent to me.
