Feature Gate: Reward full priority fee to validators

SIMD

https://github.com/solana-foundation/solana-improvement-documents/pull/96

Description

Reward 100% of priority fee to validator.

The implementation of this proposal necessitates the use of a feature gate. Although there will be no alteration to the transaction submitter's payment structure, the software incorporating the proposal will allocate a greater portion of fees to the leader compared to other versions. Consequently, a feature gate is essential to ensure that all validators transition to the new functionality at the epoch boundary, thereby preserving consensus.
