In this commit, we fix an existing bug within the EstimateFeePerWeight
method for the BtcdFeeEstimator. If the sat/byte value returned was too
low, then it was possible for us to end up with a zero valued
sat/weight. We correct this issue by detecting, and falling back to the
default fee rate if so.
In this commit, we correct the BTC -> SAT conversion in
BtcdFeeEstimator. Previously, we use 10e8 instead of 1e8, causing us to
be off by an order of magnitude.
In this commit, we add a new implementation of the FeeEstimator
interface: the BtcdFeeEstimator. This implementation of the
FeeEstimator is backed by an active bcd instance. Any requests to query
for the current fee for a given confirmation target are proxied to this
active bcd instance.
In this commit, we extend the FeeEstimator methods to allow them to
return an error. This is required as most implementations aside from
the static fee estimator will want to be able to return errors to users
to indicate the inability to properly estimate fees.
In this commit, we move the FeeEstimator interface into a distinct file
as follow up commits will begin to flesh out the interface with
additional implementations.
