docs: report two ethrex documentation bugs upstream #12

Description

@mariano-aguero

Two documents in the reference client would mislead anyone implementing from them, and neither has been reported upstream yet.

docs/eip-8141.md in ethrex on its hegota-testnet branch still documents the pre-composition wire layout, and gives the intrinsic gas as 15000 while both the published figure and the code are 12000. That figure is the one ethrex's own suite missed changing across 1372 tests, because the expected value was derived from the constant under test.

docs/hegota-testnet-spec.md lists debug among the namespaces served by rpc1.privacy.ethrex.xyz, while the endpoint refuses debug_getRawTransaction. That refusal is the reason this library reconstructs raw bytes from the node's decoded JSON and pins them by the transaction hash.

What to do: confirm both against the current hegota-testnet branch and the live endpoint, open an issue in the ethrex repository for each, and link them here. A pull request fixing the documents upstream is better still.

No code changes here. This is a good way to get familiar with where this library and the reference client actually meet.
