RPC: Add new getzmqnotifications method.

This adds a new RPC method "getzmqnotifications", which returns
information about all active ZMQ notification endpoints.  This is useful
for software that layers on top of bitcoind, so it can verify that
ZeroMQ is enabled and also figure out where it should listen.

See https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/13526.

    `getmempoolentry` when verbosity is set to `true` with sub-fields `ancestor`, `base`, `modified`
    and `descendant` denominated in BTC. This new field deprecates previous fee fields, such as
    `fee`, `modifiedfee`, `ancestorfee` and `descendantfee`.
+- The new RPC `getzmqnotifications` returns information about active ZMQ
