Adjust encodable fuzz target for known differences

The encodable fuzzing target should ignore known differences between the
old and new encoders/decoders. Due to various limitations with error
types and such, some known differences are not accounted for yet.

Add ignores for transaction decoder errors with known differences.
Adjust ignores for AddrV2Messages for service flags limit.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit only changes a fuzz testing target. It tells the fuzzer to ignore certain known, expected differences between old and new Bitcoin encoding/decoding code. It does not change the actual library code that handles transactions, addresses, or network messages, so it cannot directly affect real users or introduce a security vulnerability.

Recommended action

No security action required. Review as normal test maintenance if desired.

Security signals we found

01

No changes to production parsing/validation logic

02

Changes confined to fuzz test target
