This provides more conservative estimates and reacts more quickly to a backlog.
Unfortunately the unit test for fee estimation depends on the success threshold (and the decay) chosen; also modify the unit test for the new default success thresholds.
These are more useful fee and priority estimation functions. If there is no fee/pri high enough for the target you are aiming for, it will give you the estimate for the lowest target that you can reliably obtain. This is better than defaulting to the minimum. It will also pass back the target for which it returned an answer.

This continues/fixes #6719.
`event_base_loopbreak` was not doing what I expected it to, at least in
libevent 2.0.21.
What I expected was that it sets a timeout, given that no other pending
events it would exit in N seconds. However, what it does was delay the
event loop exit with 10 seconds, even if nothing is pending.
Solve it in a different way: give the event loop thread time to exit
out of itself, and if it doesn't, send loopbreak.
This speeds up the RPC tests a lot, each exit incurred a 10 second
overhead, with this change there should be no shutdown overhead in the
common case and up to two seconds if the event loop is blocking.
As a bonus this breaks dependency on boost::thread_group, as the HTTP
server minds its own offspring.
