Merge #11021: [rpc] fix getchaintxstats()

07704c1 Add some tests for getchaintxstats (Akio Nakamura)
3336676 Fix getchaintxstats() (Akio Nakamura)

Pull request description:

  1. calculate nblocks more adaptive.
    -> set default nblocks to min (blocks for 1 month, target block's height - 1)
    -> before PR: if not specify nblocks-parameter, illegal parameter error will happen when target block height is below nblocks.
  2. correct error message.
    -> nblocks accepts [1 .. block's height -1] . so add a word "-1".
  3. add check 0-divide.
    -> if nTimeDiff = 0 then use UniValue(UniValue::VNULL) and returns {... "txrate": null} .
    -> before PR: if nTimeDiff = 0 then returns {... "txrate":} and bitcoin-cli cannot handle the response.
