[rpc] Deprecate estimatefee RPC

Deprecate estimatefee in v0.16, for final removal in v0.17.

This commit introduces a phased removal of RPC methods. RPC method is
disabled by default in version x, but can be enabled by using the
`-deprecatedrpc=<method>` argument. RPC method is removed entirely in
version (x+1).
