feat: Add transaction_broadcast_package method for package relay

Add support for the `blockchain.transaction.broadcast_package` RPC method
introduced in protocol v1.6 for package relay (CPFP) support.

- Add `BroadcastPackageRes` and `BroadcastPackageError` types
- Add `Param::StringVec` variant for array parameters
- Add `transaction_broadcast_package_raw` trait method with generic `AsRef<[u8]>`
- Add `transaction_broadcast_package` convenience method that serializes transactions
