[mempool] check ancestor/descendant limits for packages
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When calculating ancestor/descendant counts for transactions in the
package, as a heuristic, count every transaction in the package as an
ancestor and descendant of every other transaction in the package.

This may overestimate, but will not underestimate, the
ancestor/descendant counts. This shortcut still produces an accurate
count for packages of 1 parent + 1 child.
