[script] Update signet getcoins.py for custom network

Currently, using the getcoins.py with a custom signet executes successfully and shows the transaction as complete, however for obvious reasons, it  should not.
This PR adds a sanity check for custom signet by comparing the current network's first block hash with global signet's respective hash.
