Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#22689: rpc: deprecate top-level fee fields in getmempool RPCs
2f9515f37a rpc: move fees object to match help (josibake)
07ade7db8f doc: add release note for fee field deprecation (josibake)
2ee406ce3e test: add functional test for deprecatedrpc=fees (josibake)
35d928c632 rpc: deprecate fee fields from mempool entries (josibake)

Pull request description:

  per #22682 , top level fee fields for mempool entries have been deprecated since 0.17 but are still returned. this PR properly deprecates them so that they are no longer returned unless `-deprecatedrpc=fees` is passed.

  the first commit takes care of deprecation and also updates `test/functional/mempool_packages.py` to only use the `fees` object. the second commit adds a new functional test for `-deprecatedrpc=fees`

  closes #22682

  ## questions for the reviewer

  * `-deprecatedrpc=fees` made the most sense to me, but happy to change if there is a name that makes more sense
  * #22682 seems to indicate that after some period of time, the fields will be removed all together. if we have a rough idea of when this will be, i can add a `TODO: fully remove in vXX` comment to `entryToJSON`

  ## testing
  to get started on testing, compile, run the tests, and start your node with the deprecated rpcs flag:

  ```bash
  ./src/bitcoind -daemon -deprecatedrpc=fees
  ```
  you should see entries with the deprecated fields like so:
  ```json
  {
    "<txid>": {
      "fees": {
        "base": 0.00000671,
        "modified": 0.00000671,
        "ancestor": 0.00000671,
        "descendant": 0.00000671
      },
      "fee": 0.00000671,
      "modifiedfee": 0.00000671,
      "descendantfees": 671,
      "ancestorfees": 671,
      "vsize": 144,
      "weight": 573,
     ...
    },
  ```
  you can also check `getmempoolentry` using any of the txid's from the output above.

  next start the node without the deprecated flag, repeat the commands from above and verify that the deprecated fields are no longer present at the top level, but present in the "fees" object

Bitcoin Core

Setup

Bitcoin Core is the original Bitcoin client and it builds the backbone of the network. It downloads and, by default, stores the entire history of Bitcoin transactions, which requires a few hundred gigabytes of disk space. Depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more.

To download Bitcoin Core, visit bitcoincore.org.

Running

The following are some helpful notes on how to run Bitcoin Core on your native platform.

Unix

Unpack the files into a directory and run:

  • bin/bitcoin-qt (GUI) or
  • bin/bitcoind (headless)

Windows

Unpack the files into a directory, and then run bitcoin-qt.exe.

macOS

Drag Bitcoin Core to your applications folder, and then run Bitcoin Core.
