kernel: build: remove unused serfloat dependency
The serfloat module is only used for fee estimation, which is not
included in the bitcoinkernel library, so the dependency can be removed.
What changed, and why it matters
This commit removes one source file from the build list for the bitcoinkernel library because that file is not actually used by anything in that library. It is a routine cleanup change with no security relevance.
No security action needed. This is a benign build-system cleanup.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The change deletes ../util/serfloat.cpp from src/kernel/CMakeLists.txt. The commit message explains that serfloat is only used for fee estimation, which is not part of the bitcoinkernel library, so the dependency is unused and can be removed. There is no code logic change, no bug fix, and no security-sensitive modification.
