/** \class CBlockPolicyEstimator
101
 * The BlockPolicyEstimator is used for estimating the feerate needed
102
 * for a transaction to be included in a block within a certain number of
103
 * blocks.
104
 *
105
 * At a high level the algorithm works by grouping transactions into buckets
106
 * based on having similar feerates and then tracking how long it
107
 * takes transactions in the various buckets to be mined.  It operates under
108
 * the assumption that in general transactions of higher feerate will be
109
 * included in blocks before transactions of lower feerate.   So for
110
 * example if you wanted to know what feerate you should put on a transaction to
111
 * be included in a block within the next 5 blocks, you would start by looking
112
 * at the bucket with the highest feerate transactions and verifying that a
113
 * sufficiently high percentage of them were confirmed within 5 blocks and
114
 * then you would look at the next highest feerate bucket, and so on, stopping at
115
 * the last bucket to pass the test.   The average feerate of transactions in this
116
 * bucket will give you an indication of the lowest feerate you can put on a
117
 * transaction and still have a sufficiently high chance of being confirmed
118
 * within your desired 5 blocks.
119
 *
120
 * Here is a brief description of the implementation:
121
 * When a transaction enters the mempool, we track the height of the block chain
122
 * at entry.  All further calculations are conducted only on this set of "seen"
123
 * transactions. Whenever a block comes in, we count the number of transactions
124
 * in each bucket and the total amount of feerate paid in each bucket. Then we
125
 * calculate how many blocks Y it took each transaction to be mined.  We convert
126
 * from a number of blocks to a number of periods Y' each encompassing "scale"
127
 * blocks.  This is tracked in 3 different data sets each up to a maximum
128
 * number of periods. Within each data set we have an array of counters in each
129
 * feerate bucket and we increment all the counters from Y' up to max periods
130
 * representing that a tx was successfully confirmed in less than or equal to
131
 * that many periods. We want to save a history of this information, so at any
132
 * time we have a counter of the total number of transactions that happened in a
133
 * given feerate bucket and the total number that were confirmed in each of the
134
 * periods or less for any bucket.  We save this history by keeping an
135
 * exponentially decaying moving average of each one of these stats.  This is
136
 * done for a different decay in each of the 3 data sets to keep relevant data
137
 * from different time horizons.  Furthermore we also keep track of the number
138
 * unmined (in mempool or left mempool without being included in a block)
139
 * transactions in each bucket and for how many blocks they have been
140
 * outstanding and use both of these numbers to increase the number of transactions
141
 * we've seen in that feerate bucket when calculating an estimate for any number
142
 * of confirmations below the number of blocks they've been outstanding.
143
 *
144
 *  We want to be able to estimate feerates that are needed on tx's to be included in
145
 * a certain number of blocks.  Every time a block is added to the best chain, this class records
146
 * stats on the transactions included in that block
