[wallet] abort when attempting to fund a transaction above maxtxfee
FundTransaction calls GetMinimumFee which, when the fee rate is absurdly high, quietly reduced the fee to -maxtxfee. Becaue an absurdly high fee rate is usually the result of a fat finger, aborting seems safer behavior.

+Wallet changes
+--------------
+When creating a transaction with a fee above `-maxtxfee` (default 0.1 BTC),
+the RPC commands `walletcreatefundedpsbt` and `fundrawtransaction` will now fail
+instead of rounding down the fee. Beware that the `feeRate` argument is specified
+in BTC per kilobyte, not satoshi per byte.
