fees: bump fees file version
What changed, and why it matters
This commit simply updates a version number used when Bitcoin Core saves its fee-estimation data to disk. It is a routine compatibility marker, not a security fix. There is no vulnerability here.
No security action required. Treat as normal maintenance.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The change bumps CURRENT_FEES_FILE_VERSION from 149900 to 309900 in src/policy/fees/block_policy_estimator.cpp. This constant is used to tag the persisted fee-estimator file format so that older software does not misinterpret incompatible serialized data. The accompanying comment is also updated to reflect the new baseline for future breaking changes. No logic, parsing, or cryptographic code is modified.
