New RPC methods
Fee/Priority estimation
estimatefee nblocks : Returns approximate fee-per-1,000-bytes needed for a transaction to be confirmed within nblocks. Returns -1 if not enough transactions have been observed to compute a good estimate.
estimatepriority nblocks : Returns approximate priority needed for a zero-fee transaction to confirm within nblocks. Returns -1 if not enough free transactions have been observed to compute a good estimate.
Statistics used to estimate fees and priorities are saved in the data directory in the 'fee_estimates.dat' file just before program shutdown, and are read in at startup.
