This allows for much finer control of the transaction fees per kilobyte
as it prevent small transactions using a fee that is more appropriate
for one that is of a kilobyte.

This also allows controlling the fee per kilobyte over rpc such that:

bitcoin-cli settxfee bitcoin-cli estimatefee 2``

would make sense, while currently it grossly fails often by a factor of x3

This fixes issue #6479, and has minimal impact as dynamic fees are currently the default. This default can be overriden in the qt wallet, although I have trouble imagining where that is useful. Possibly the entire concept of fPayAtLeastCustomFee can be removed in a later version.

Looks after a reasonable change. But it would at least require to fix the unit/rpc tests.

concept ACK, but this would change the behaviour that a lot of software currently mimics (example)
