rpc: Add getprivatebroadcastinfo

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a new read-only RPC command called getprivatebroadcastinfo to Bitcoin Core. It lets users inspect transactions currently being broadcast privately, including their IDs, raw data, and which peers they were sent to and when. There is no code change that modifies how transactions are broadcast or how peers are chosen; it only exposes existing internal state through the RPC interface.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal feature review; verify RPC help text and access controls are consistent with other informational RPCs.
