Inheritance was overkill here, and now we can use inheritance for new functionality X
without having to create classes for all combinations of {X, is_testnet}.
We have supported sending to any witness version since Electrum 3.0, using
addresses as specified in BIP-0173 (bech32 encoding).
BIP-0350 makes a breaking change in address encoding, and recommends using
(and using only) a new encoding (bech32m) for sending to witness version 1
and later. The address encoding for currently in use witness v0 addresses
remains the same, as in BIP-0173; following the BIP-0350 spec.

- Rename bump_fee "methods" to "strategies".
- Refactor strategies so that bump_fee can use any subset of them in any permutation.
- Adds a new strategy which decreases the payment outputs (instead of change).
tests based on
- 8ca383c9e0/python/elec-p2sh-hodl.py
- 8ca383c9e0/python/elec-p2wsh-hodl.py
note: I could not reproduce the signature for the p2wsh cltv spend linked above,
so I have created a new testnet output and spent that for that test (to make sure
our behaviour is consensus-valid).
The few other cases that used SimpleConfig.get_instance() now
either get passed a config instance, or they try to get a reference
to something else that has a reference to a config.

When encoding transactions as QR codes, we encode the tx bytes as base43
first. This makes it easier to load a transaction if the user manually
decodes the QR code.
