[rpc] Descriptions: Textual consistency fixes

'Must be one of' should always end in a ':'

'hex encoded' is now always 'hex-encoded'

Remove redundant '(defaults to CONSERVATIVE)' text from estimatesmartfee

Consistent spacing for options '( verbose )' and '( verbosity )'

'BIP125 replaceable' is now always 'BIP125-replaceable'

JSON-RPC example is now always 'As a JSON-RPC call'
