[policy] disallow transactions under min relay fee, even in packages
Avoid adding transactions below min relay feerate because, even if they
were bumped through CPFP when entering the mempool, we do not have a
DoS-resistant way of ensuring they always remain bumped.  In the future,
this rule can be relaxed (e.g. to allow packages to bump 0-fee
transactions) if we find a way to do so.

Transaction Relay Policy

Policy (Mempool or Transaction Relay Policy) is the node's set of validation rules, in addition to consensus, enforced for unconfirmed transactions before submitting them to the mempool. These rules are local to the node and configurable (e.g. -minrelaytxfee, -limitancestorsize, -incrementalrelayfee). Policy may include restrictions on the transaction itself, the transaction in relation to the current chain tip, and the transaction in relation to the node's mempool contents. Policy is not applied to transactions in blocks.

This documentation is not an exhaustive list of all policy rules.
