It's very useful to Bitcoin applications, and especially "L2" ones, to
effectively compute feerates. Currently (and this is very unlikely to
change) bitcoind nodes compute the virtual size as a rounded-up division
of the size in witness units by 4, with a penalty for transactions that
are essentially >5% full of sigops.

This introduces some constants defined by Bitcoin Core which as a
consequence define some network rules in a new 'policy' module.
Only some were picked, which are very unlikely to change. Nonetheless a
Warning has been put in the module documentation.
Script-level constants are left into rust-miniscript where they are
already defined (src/miniscript/limits.rs).
