Fee Estimation Changes
----------------------
- Since 0.13.2 fee estimation for a confirmation target of 1 block has been
disabled. This is only a minor behavior change as there was often insufficient
data for this target anyway. `estimatefee 1` will now always return -1 and
`estimatesmartfee 1` will start searching at a target of 2.
- The default target for fee estimation is changed to 6 blocks in both the GUI
(previously 25) and for RPC calls (previously 2).
