wallet: mark `bip125-replaceable` key as deprecated in transaction RPCs

Transactions are replaceable by default since v28 and the corresponding
tweaking argument has been removed since v29. The related key from the
mempool RPC has been marked deprecated as well since v29, this patch
does the same for the wallet transaction RPCs such as listtransactions,
listsinceblock, and gettransaction.

Users can pass the -deprecatedrpc=bip125 startup argument to retrieve
this key in the responses of above mentioned RPCs.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This is a routine Bitcoin Core change that hides an old transaction status field called 'bip125-replaceable' from wallet RPC responses by default, marking it as deprecated. Users can still get it back by starting the node with -deprecatedrpc=bip125. It is not a security fix and does not introduce a vulnerability; it is a user-interface/API cleanup following earlier changes that made transactions replaceable by default.

Recommended action

No security action required. Developers and operators relying on the 'bip125-replaceable' field in listtransactions/listsinceblock/gettransaction should plan migration, and may use -deprecatedrpc=bip125 during the transition.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
