Pull request description:

  This is a simple PR that updates the block policy estimator’s `MIN_BUCKET_FEERATE` constant to be 100, which is identical to the policy `DEFAULT_MIN_RELAY_TX_FEE`.

  This change enables the block policy fee rate estimator to return sub-1 sat/vB fee rate estimates.

  The change is correct because the estimator creates buckets of fee rates from
  `MIN_BUCKET_FEERATE`,
  `MIN_BUCKET_FEERATE` + `FEE_SPACING`,
  `MIN_BUCKET_FEERATE` + `2 * FEE_SPACING`,
  … up to `MAX_BUCKET_FEERATE`.

  This means it will record sub-1 sat/vB fee rates in the buckets and may return them as a fee rate estimate when that bucket is the lowest one with sufficient transactions for a given target.

  While touching this part of the fee estimator code, this PR got rid of the dummy value persisted in the file
