rpc: expand decodepsbt output script with explicit fields
Reuse ScriptPubKeyDoc(), which matches what ScriptToUniv() emits here
wrapped in ElideGroup().
What changed, and why it matters
This commit is a documentation-only change in the Bitcoin Core RPC help output. It replaces a vague placeholder description for the 'script' field inside decodepsbt with an explicit, structured description reused from another part of the code. There is no code behavior change, no bug fix, and no security relevance.
No action required. This is a non-security documentation improvement.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The diff modifies a single line in src/rpc/rawtransaction.cpp within the DecodePSBTOutputs() RPC result documentation. It swaps an ELISION placeholder for ElideGroup(ScriptPubKeyDoc(), …), which expands the help text to list the actual sub-fields of the scriptPubKey object. ScriptPubKeyDoc() is already used by ScriptToUniv(), so this only aligns the PSBT documentation with the existing decoderawtransaction output format. No runtime logic is altered.
