Merge #12798: doc: Refer to witness reserved value as spec. in the BIP

adc2586 doc: Refer to witness reserved value as spec. in the BIP (MarcoFalke)

Pull request description:

  BIP141 refers to the coinbase's input's witness that consists of a single 32-byte array as "witness reserved value".

  This updates the code to follow the BIP
