Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#21161: Fee estimation: extend bucket ranges consistently

a5e39d325da4eeb9273fb7c919fcbfbc721ed75d Fee estimation: extend bucket ranges consistently (Anthony Towns)

Pull request description:

  When calculating a median fee for a confirmation target at a particular threshold, we analyse buckets in ranges rather than individually in case some buckets have very little data. This patch ensures the breaks between ranges are independent of the the confirmation target.

  Fixes #20725
