Add signet support for contrib/history.py
What changed, and why it matters
This commit adds support for the Bitcoin 'signet' test network to a small helper script (contrib/history.py). It simply lets users choose the signet network by picking a different port and reusing an existing testnet address parser. There is no security issue here.
No security action needed. Treat as a routine feature commit.

No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The patch extends the network selection logic in contrib/history.py to handle the ‘signet’ value for the –network argument. It assigns port 60601 and imports the same pycoin testnet (xtn) network object already used for testnet4. This is a feature addition to a contrib utility; it does not touch the electrs server, RPC handling, authentication, or any sensitive code path.
