0f34f54888f680bfbe7a29ac278636d7178a99bb rpc: fix regression in gettransaction (Jon Atack)

Pull request description:

  Closes #16872.

  PR #16866 renamed the `decode` argument in gettransaction to `verbose` to make it more consistent with other RPC calls like getrawtransaction. However, it inadvertently overloaded the "details" field when `verbose` is passed. The result is that the original "details" field is no longer returned correctly, which seems to be a breaking API change.

  This PR:

  - takes the simplest path to restoring the "details" field by renaming the decoded one back to "decoded" while leaving the `verbose` argument for API consistency, which was the main intent of #16866,

  - addresses [this comment](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/16185#discussion_r320740413) by mentioning in the RPC help that the new decoded field is equivalent to decoderawtransaction, and

  - updates the help, functional test, and release note.

  Reviewers, to test this manually, build and run `bitcoin-cli help gettransaction` and `bitcoin-cli gettransaction <wallet txid> false true`, and verify that the command returns both `details` and `decoded` fields.

RPC changes
-----------
The `gettransaction` RPC now accepts a third (boolean) argument `verbose`. If
set to `true`, a new `decoded` field will be added to the response containing
the decoded transaction. This field is equivalent to RPC `decoderawtransaction`,
or RPC `getrawtransaction` when `verbose` is passed.
