4b7091a842 Replace median fee rate with feerate percentiles (Marcin Jachymiak)
Pull request description:
Currently, the `medianfeerate` statistic is calculated from the feerate of the middle transaction of a list of transactions sorted by feerate.
This PR instead uses the value of the 50th percentile weight unit in the block, and also calculates the feerate at the 10th, 25th, 75th, and 90th percentiles. This more accurately corresponds with what is generally meant by median feerate.

Pull request description:
It returns per block statistics about several things. It should be easy to add more if people think of other things to add or remove some if I went too far (but once written, why not keep it? EDIT: answer: not to test or maintain them).
The currently available options are: minfee,maxfee,totalfee,minfeerate,maxfeerate,avgfee,avgfeerate,txs,ins,outs (EDIT: see updated list in the rpc call documentation)
For the x axis, one can use height or block.nTime (I guess I could add mediantime if there's interest [EDIT: nobody showed interest but I implemented mediantime nonetheless, in fact there's no distinction between x or y axis anymore, that's for the caller to judge]).
To calculate fees, -txindex is required.
