If I use bitcoin-cli getrawmempool true I can get info on all mempool transactions like this:

{
"f9a96e48d30efbc1c3614ed5ef6925f517067b47a017e8d766ffe109446867d3": {
  "size": 225,
  "fee": 0.00027120,
  "modifiedfee": 0.00027120,
  "time": 1488733845,
  "height": 455892,
  "startingpriority": 0,
  "currentpriority": 0,
  "descendantcount": 1,
  "descendantsize": 225,
  "descendantfees": 27120,
  "ancestorcount": 2,
  "ancestorsize": 451,
  "ancestorfees": 54240,
  "depends": [
    "c3cecbcf9ce74863159b9807d36233dbf70fec0d98dc25c78aeea6945a28abd2"
  ]
}
}

I can look and see that the whole chain of 2 unspent transactions is averaging 120 satoshi/byte and will likely that both transactions won't confirm for a while.

A lot of miners use CPFP now, so I would like to add a method to insight-api to return the ancestorsize and ancestorfees for a given transaction so we can try to CPFP them to help confirmation.
