fix(wallet): preserve broadcast RPC errors across receipt probes

[koko1123]

When sendRawTransaction returns an RPC error, the wallet checks whether the transaction landed before reporting failure. Those receipt probes clear or overwrite the provider’s borrowed error message/data, so callers receive RpcError without the original broadcast rejection. This hid the cause of rejected production liquidation submissions.

Keep an owned copy of the broadcast diagnostics and restore it when the receipt probes cannot confirm the transaction. A confirmed receipt still returns the transaction hash as before. The regression uses a local RPC fixture that rejects the broadcast, returns a different receipt error, then returns missing receipts; it asserts the original code, message, and revert data survive.

Validation: full make ci with Zig 0.16.0 passed (build, formatting, unit tests, ENS vectors). Reintroducing the old broadcast handling makes the regression fail with MissingBroadcastError. This PR only restores diagnostics; Gator’s fee-headroom mitigation is separate: https://github.com/StrobeLabs/gator-liquidators/pull/38.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Wallet.sendTransaction now preserves the original broadcast RPC error when receipt probing cannot find the transaction. An integration-style test verifies the error code, message, and data.

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Preserve broadcast errors and validate receipt probing src/wallet.zig	sendTransaction saves the original RpcError diagnostics before receipt probing and restores them when no receipt confirms the transaction. The test verifies the returned code, message, and data using an ephemeral HTTP server.
