This a breaking API change to the prioritisetransaction RPC call which previously required exactly three arguments and now requires exactly two (hash and feeDelta). The function prioritiseTransaction is also updated.
This commit fixes the module-level docstrings for the tests and helper
modules in qa. Many of these tests were uncommented previously - this
commit ensures that every test case has at least a minimum level of
commenting.
Redo the feerate index to be based on mining score, rather than fee.
Update mempool_packages.py to test prioritisetransaction's effect on
package scores.
Reduce the default limits on maximum number of transactions and the cumulative size of those transactions in both ancestor and descendant packages to 25 txs and 101kb total size.
Associate with each CTxMemPoolEntry all the size/fees of descendant
mempool transactions. Sort mempool by max(feerate of entry, feerate
of descendants). Update statistics on-the-fly as transactions enter
or leave the mempool.
Also add ancestor and descendant limiting, so that transactions can
be rejected if the number or size of unconfirmed ancestors exceeds
a target, or if adding a transaction would cause some other mempool
entry to have too many (or too large) a set of unconfirmed in-
mempool descendants.
