Subject: Remove GetMinRelayFee

One test in AcceptToMemoryPool was to compare a transaction's fee
agains the value returned by GetMinRelayFee. This value was zero for
all small transactions.  For larger transactions (between
DEFAULT_BLOCK_PRIORITY_SIZE and MAX_STANDARD_TX_SIZE), this function
was preventing low fee transactions from ever being accepted.

With this function removed, we will now allow transactions in that range
with fees (including modifications via PrioritiseTransaction) below
the minRelayTxFee, provided that they have sufficient priority.
