Merge #19630: Cleanup fee estimation code

a3abeec33a policy/fees: remove a floating-point division by zero (Antoine Poinsot)
c36869bbf6 policy/fees: unify some duplicated for loops (Antoine Poinsot)
569d92a4d2 policy/fees: small readability improvements (Antoine Poinsot)
5b8cb35621 policy/fee: remove requireGreater parameter in EstimateMedianVal() (Antoine Poinsot)
dba8196b44 policy/fees: correct decay explanation comments (Antoine Poinsot)

Pull request description:

  This (*does not* change behaviour and) cleans up a bit of unused code in `CBlockPolicyEstimator` and friends, and slightly improves readability of the rest (comment correction etc.). The last commit is a small reformatting one which I could not resist but am happy to remove at will.
