wallet/author: use vsize when estimating fees

Browse source 
This commit makes use of the recently added EstimateVirtualSize
method to estimated the size of a transaction when calculating
fees. This makes fee estimation more accurate when we are spending
segwit outputs, as before we wouldn't account for the witness
descount, resulting in overshooting fee estimates.
