Closes #356.

Clarifies (in the Example sections of both ZIPs) that the sample
transactions used to exercise the sighash algorithm are randomly
generated and are not necessarily valid Zcash transactions; their
purpose is to verify the transaction digest algorithm rather than to
pass full validation. The note added to ZIP 143 mirrors the (now
slightly extended) note that ZIP 243 already carried.

Filed with Claude Code assistance.

Clarifies (per zcash#356) that the sample transactions used to
exercise the sighash algorithm are randomly generated and are not
necessarily valid Zcash transactions; their purpose is to verify the
transaction digest algorithm rather than to pass full validation.

Closes zcash#356.
