When to use HNS vs dollarydoos

[pinheadmz]

Note the message here: https://hsd-dev.org/api-docs/#create-a-transaction

Be careful how you enter values and fee rates!
value and rate are expressed in subunits when using cURL or Javascript
value and rate are expressed in WHOLE HNS when using CLI
Watch carefully how values are entered in the examples, all examples send the same amount when executed

This is a big issue with the API -- between RPC and HTTP APIs, and then using CLI commands vs curl or JS... developers can get really screwed up.

We need a big explainer in the "intro" section at the top of the api-docs, maybe with a chart, that lays out when and where and why which unit is used for which methods. We don't want developers entering 1000000 and accidentally sending 1,000,000 HNS when they think they're just sending 1.000000 HNS !

This applies to all fee settings and value settings in transaction stuff. Probably throughout the API docs the new intro message should be linked-to for reference.
