Protocol 20: Add support for resource leeway in simulateTransaction

[Shaptic]

Upcoming Soroban RPC Change

The v20.1.0 version of Soroban RPC introduces the following additive change:

• soroban-tools#1131

Which changes the request schema for the simulateTransaction endpoint, adding the optional resourceConfig parameter, which, for now, contains a single field:

{
  "transaction": "<base64-encoded transaction>",
  "resourceConfig" {
    "instructionLeeway": 0   // <number of add'l CPU instructions to reserve>
  }
}

Though this is an optional parameter, it may require an update depending on how you were submitting the request via JSON-RPC previously. Namely, optional parameters are treated differently depending on whether or not you are POSTing with an object (i.e. params: { transaction: "..." }) or an array (i.e. params: [ "..." ]). In the latter case, the optional parameter will not be honored and the request will be met with the following error:

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 2,
  "error": {
    "code": -32602,
    "message": "invalid parameters",
    "data": "[-32602] got 1 parameters, want 2"
  }
}

• Please update your SDK to use object-based parameter passing in JSON-RPC (if necessary) and allow users to optionally specify this additional CPU instruction leeway parameter.
• Please also note the set of breaking schema changes that occurred in the stable Protocol 20 release, described here.

Reference implementation

• JavaScript: js-stellar-sdk#896 (released in v11.1.0).
