Provides a detailed description of the transaction format, replacing an example hexdump taken from the wiki. I'm putting this in the transaction section as the format is necessary for the creation of txids, which are used as merkle leaves (so are covered by consensus rules). However, this is also the format used by several P2P network messages to transmit transactions, so I'll be linking back to it from there as I document those messages.
