Add absolute fee and fee rate sanity check in the Wallet API

[notmandatory]

Describe the enhancement

A BDK wallet should check the absolute transaction fee and free rate when creating, and/or signing a transaction PSBT. There should also be a way to change or disable this fee rate check. I suggest we should make the maximum absolute fee the same as bitcoin core (0.1 BTC), and fee rate the same as what Liana chose (1_000 sats/vb), but defaults are open for discussion.

Use case

This would prevent BDK users from accidentally creating and signing transactions with very large, unreasonable transaction fees. This feature would improve our feature parity with the bitcoin core wallet.

Additional context

Discord comment from @darosior:

For what it's worth in Liana we have both an absolute fee (1BTC) and feerate (1_000 sat/vb) sanity checks: https://github.com/wizardsardine/liana/blob/7bfc53890aa1466b0fee413d7373cbd05fd22a19/src/commands/mod.rs#L213-L238. Bitcoin Core has a 0.1BTC maximum absolute fee sanity check iirc, but you can tweak it. I agree BDK should have one. Any wallet software intended to be used with real funds should have such sanity checks.

Another creative approach would be to warn if the fee exceeds a fixed % of the total send amount

It seems rust-bitcoin added something along these lines in their latest release.
