update fee estimate

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit changes how transaction fees are estimated across many cryptocurrency wallets in the Stack Wallet app. The old formula used regular math with decimal numbers, which could lose precision or round incorrectly on very large fee values. The new formula uses exact integer (BigInt) arithmetic. The change is likely a bug-fix or hardening improvement rather than an active vulnerability, but it touches fee logic for many coins so it has broad reach.

Recommended action

Review the new integer fee formula against each coin's expected fee semantics to ensure truncation (`~/`) does not underpay fees or break minimum-relay-fee requirements. Confirm that `feeRatePerKB * vSize` cannot overflow the platform's BigInt implementation. Consider adding unit tests covering edge-case fee rates and vSize values.
