e6519e3 Enhance the documentation for the fee_rate and fee_absolute methods. (Jon Marrs)

Pull request description:

  ### Description

  This pr helps solve this issue: #856

  I added documentation to the fee_rate() method to describe the units as either satoshis/vbyte (sats/vbyte) or satoshis/kwu (sats/kwu), depending on the FeeRate type.

  I also added documentation to the fee_absolute() method to clarify that the fee is determined by whichever method (fee_rate or fee_absolute) was called last, as the FeePolicy is an enum, and FeeRate/FeeAmount are mutually exclusive.

  ### Notes to the reviewers

  I thought it would be helpful to provide documentation to alleviate confusion over the fee_rate method and the fee_absolute method.
