As a user, I want to adapt the merge_algorithm setting when starting the Maker service, in order to have more fine-grained control and the ability to use an already existing JM option.

See: https://github.com/joinmarket-webui/jam-docker/blob/master/standalone/default.cfg#L166-L170

Options:

• default
• gradual (for dust sweeping)
• greedy (for more rapid dust sweeping)
• greediest (for most rapid dust sweeping)

default

Default coin selection algorithm.

gradual

UTXO selection algorithm for gradual dust reduction
If possible, combines outputs, picking as few as possible of the largest
utxos less than the target value; if the target value is larger than the
sum of all smaller utxos, uses the smallest utxo larger than the value.

greedy

UTXO selection algorithm for greedy dust reduction, but leaves out
extraneous utxos, preferring to keep multiple small ones

greediest

UTXO selection algorithm for speediest dust reduction
Combines the shortest run of utxos (sorted by size, from smallest) which
exceeds the target value; if the target value is larger than the sum of
all smaller utxos, uses the smallest utxo larger than the target value.
