Fee Estimation Changes

----------------------

- Since 0.13.2 fee estimation for a confirmation target of 1 block has been
55+
disabled. This is only a minor behavior change as there was often insufficient
56+
data for this target anyway. `estimatefee 1` will now always return -1 and
57+
`estimatesmartfee 1` will start searching at a target of 2.
58+
59+
- The default target for fee estimation is changed to 6 blocks in both the GUI
60+
(previously 25) and for RPC calls (previously 2).
