Rewrite estimateSmartFee

Change the logic of estimateSmartFee to check a 60% threshold at half the target, a 85% threshold at the target and a 95% threshold at double the target. Always check the shortest time horizon possible and ensure that estimates are monotonically decreasing.  Add a conservative mode, which makes sure that the 95% threshold is also met at longer time horizons as well.
