fees: Always round up fee calculated from a feerate
When calculating the fee for a given tx size from a fee rate, we should always round up to the next satoshi. Otherwise, if we round down (via truncation), the calculated fee may result in a fee with a feerate slightly less than targeted. This is particularly important for coin selection as a slightly lower feerate than expected can result in a variety of issues.
