7a8d60676b [miner] bug fix: update for parent inclusion using modified fee (glozow)
0f9a44461c MOVEONLY: group miner tests into MinerTestingSetup functions (glozow)
Pull request description:
Came up while reviewing #24364, where some of us incorrectly assumed that we use the same fee deduction in `CTxMemPoolModifiedEntry::nModFeesWithAncestors` when first constructing an entry and in `update_for_parent_inclusion`.
Actually, the behavior is this: when a mempool entry's ancestor is included in the block template, we create a `CTxMemPoolModifiedEntry` for it, subtracting the ancestor's modified fees from `nModFeesWithAncestors`. If another ancestor is included, we update it again, but use the ancestor's _base_ fees instead.
I can't explain why we use `GetFee` in one place and `GetModifiedFee` in the other, but I'm quite certain we should be using the same one for both.
And should it be base or modified fees? Modified, otherwise the child inherits the prioritisation of the parent, but only until the parent gets mined. If we want prioritisation to cascade down to current in-mempool descendants, we should probably document that in the `prioritsetransaction` helpstring and implement it in `CTxMemPool::mapDeltas`, not as a quirk in the mining code?
Wrote a test in which a mempool entry has 2 ancestors, both prioritised, and both included in a block template individually. This test should fail without the s/GetFee/GetModifiedFee commit.

Given the low possibility of a reorg reverting the segwit soft fork,
there is no need to check whether segwit is active here. Also,
TestBlockValidity is run on the block template after it has been
created.
