Merge #19339: validation: re-delegate absurd fee checking from mempool to clients

b048b275d9 [validation] Remove absurdfee from accepttomempool (John Newbery)
932564b9cf scripted-diff: update max-fee-exceeded error message to include RPC (gzhao408)
8f1290c601 [rpc/node] check for high fee before ATMP in clients (gzhao408)

Pull request description:

  Picked up from #15810. Add separate fee-checking logic for clients that need to enforce max fee rates, then remove the `absurdFee` logic from ATMP.

  ATMP's `nAbsurdFee` argument is used to enforce user-specific behavior (it is not policy since it isn't applied consistently: it is only ever used in RPC and wallet, and set to 0 everywhere else internally). It should be removed from `AcceptToMemoryPool` because (1) validation results/mempool behavior should not be user-specific and (2) enforcing a max fee rate should be the responsibility of the client instead of the mempool.

  Note: this PR does not intend to _remove_ protection from high fees, just re-delegate the responsibility to clients.
