This is part of the "UTXO Set Statistics" project in Core, which aims
to make things like "checking coin supply" faster. This stuff, and
related things in coinstats.cpp, have always been broken for Elements
in the sense that we consider only explicit outputs and we ignore
assets (so everything just gets added together to get a meaningless
total). It probably wouldn't be too hard to restrict this to only
consider policyAsset, but it's out of scope for a rebase IMO.
Also, I think this situation is fine .. I don't understand the motivation
for this or why Core is merging this when they refuse to merge an address
index .. but I guess we'll see if there are users who care about this data
and who care about it being meaningful on Elements.
Also, apologies for the big diff -- there were some mechanical changes
to deal with CT amounts, but most of the changes related to the difference
in how fees are accounted for. While I'm not thrilled with this PR, its
functional test is really good! So I think what I eventually came up with
is internally consistent.

fa83e95ac6 scripted-diff: Clarify that feerates are per virtual size (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
By implementing segwit, it is already clear that all feerates in Bitcoin Core are denoted in (amount/virtual size). Though, there is inconsistency, as some places use kvB, some use kB. Thus, replace all with "kvB".
See also commit 6da3afbaee, which did the replacement for wallet RPCs.

Code review ACK fae196147b. Checked instances where units were being added in the second commit and they all looked right.

Pull request description:
This PR is split from #21463.
The change was suggested on [Transifex.com](https://www.transifex.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/), and it does not touch `LogPrint` and `LogPrintf` calls.
The only comment on #21463 [was](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/21463/commits/9030e4b5a6de54e041c59e98d91adecbebf3611a#r597220100):
> Mind that these messages also end up in the log. In principle the log is already UTF-8 (as are all strings and text in bitcoind). But, just noting, that it might make browsing the log a less pleasant experience on systems with misconfigured locale like some BSDs by default.
