Merge #15477: doc: Remove misleading hint in getrawtransaction

9999879f56c88ca2837f5d18e6688917ba96e9e2 refactor: Use RPCHelpMan::IsValidNumArgs in getrawtransaction (MarcoFalke)
fa9ff8fe212ae40a1ef4980455bf916bc044fee2 doc: Remove misleading hint in getrawtransaction (MarcoFalke)

Pull request description:

  For 0.18.0

  I asked this line to be added in #15159, which was wrong because getmempoolentry does not return the raw transaction hex.
