Add LowerBoundedFeeEstimator to set FeeEstimator min rates.

`LowerBoundedFeeEstimator` is a wrapper for `Deref`s to `FeeEstimator`s
that limits the get_est_sat_per_1000_weight() method to no less than 253
sats/kW. It also implements `FeeEstimator` itself so it can be passed to
some public API functions internally.
