Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#21946: Document and test lack of inherited signaling in RBF policy
2eb0eeda39cab997f9a5f817f7c12e7fffeaf35a validation: document lack of inherited signaling in RBF policy (Antoine Riard) 906b6d9da6a6b2e6a5f1d9046b3b9c2c7e490c99 test: Extend feature_rbf.py with no inherited signaling (Antoine Riard) Pull request description: Contrary to BIP125 or other full-node implementation (e.g btcd), Bitcoin Core's mempool policy doesn't implement inherited signaling. This PR documents our mempool behavior on this and add a test demonstrating the case.
