Minor improvement for fee estimation #10625

Description

@morcos

Volatility of fees required has increased significantly.
Estimates already take a look at the mempool min fee and never return anything less than that.
However the mempool min fee decays quite quickly, but I think it makes more sense to track a recent high for the mempool min fee and never return an estimate moreless than that. Probably only when conservative = true. Perhaps a history as long as 4 weeks?
Maybe we could just keep a rolling history of the max per day for each day over the last 4 weeks.

This is a pretty easy change to make, just wanted to make a note, because I think it would be a good improvement to get in before 0.15.
