Separate required fee for relaying and creation

Transactions created with the new minimal fee policy would not be relayed by the network. Therefore, we separate the minimal fee that is necessary to relay and to create, leaving the creation one at the old amount, for now. (cherry picked from commit 2bfda1b)
