mining: drop unused -nFees and sigops from CBlockTemplate

For the coinbase vTxFees used a dummy value of -nFees. This
value was never returned by the RPC or used in a test.

Similarly the fist vTxSigOpsCost entry was calculated from
the dummy coinbase transaction.

Drop both and add code comments to prevent confusion.
