A site could fix the nonce of the transaction the user was asked to
sign: the same nonce as a pending transaction, at a higher fee,
replaces it, and a nonce above the account's next one leaves the new
transaction stuck behind a gap. `nonce` is no longer one of the fields
taken from the request, so the transaction always gets the account's
next nonce from the network, and that is the nonce the approval screen
shows and the popup signs.

programmatically rather than by a user gesture. The background populates the
transaction (nonce, gas limit, fees, chain id) against the RPC node _before_
opening the window, so the screen shows a complete transaction and the signed
artifact can be compared with it field for field. A request that cannot be
populated — unreachable node, reverting gas estimate — opens no window and is
failed back to the site. Only one transaction approval exists at a time:
populating fixes the nonce, so a second `eth_sendTransaction` arriving while
one is unanswered is refused with EIP-1193 code `-32002` rather than being
populated at the same nonce. It opens no window and takes no nonce, and the
site can send it again once the pending one is answered.
