Merge #16257: [wallet] abort when attempting to fund a transaction above -maxtxfee

806b0052c3 [wallet] abort when attempting to fund a transaction above maxtxfee (Sjors Provoost)

Pull request description:

  `FundTransaction` calls `GetMinimumFee` which, when the fee rate is absurdly high, quietly reduces the fee to `-maxtxfee`.

  Becaue an absurdly high fee rate is usually the result of a fat finger, aborting seems safer behavior.

  Before:
  ```
  bitcoin-cli walletcreatefundedpsbt '[]' '[{"tb1q...": 0.01}]' 0 '{"feeRate": 10}' true
  {
    "psbt": "cHNidP8...gAA=",
    "fee": 0.10000000,
    "changepos": 1
  }

  ```

  After:
  ```
  bitcoin-cli walletcreatefundedpsbt '[]' '[{"tb1q...": 0.01}]' 0 '{"feeRate": 10}' true
  error code: -25
  error message:
  Fee exceeds maximum configured by -maxtxfee
  ```

  QT still checks the max fee rate as expected:

+Wallet changes
+--------------
+When creating a transaction with a fee above `-maxtxfee` (default 0.1 BTC),
+the RPC commands `walletcreatefundedpsbt` and  `fundrawtransaction` will now fail
+instead of rounding down the fee. Beware that the `feeRate` argument is specified
+in BTC per kilobyte, not satoshi per byte.
