-*Rationale*: Avoid situations in which the mempool contains non-bumped transactions below min relay

-submission would ensure these transactions are bumped at the time of entry, it is not guaranteed

 Implementation Note: Transactions within a package are always validated individually first, and
 package validation is used for the transactions that failed. Since package feerate is only
 calculated using transactions that are not in the mempool, this implementation detail affects the
