doc: add taproot descriptor to getdescriptors example
Wallets import descriptors for all supported address types in a
BIP44/49/84/86 compatible manner, so show the BIP86 tr() descriptor in
the example response as well.
What changed, and why it matters
This commit only updates a documentation example in external-signer.md to include a Taproot (BIP86 tr()) descriptor alongside existing address-type examples. It is a documentation-only change with no code modifications, no functional changes, and no security implications.
No security action required. This is a routine documentation update.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The diff adds two lines to the example JSON response in doc/external-signer.md, showing tr() descriptors for receive and internal derivation paths. No source code, RPC logic, wallet behavior, or cryptographic handling is changed. The checksums are illustrative examples only.
