harden: bound the total network fee by gasLimit × fee, on both send paths (closes #399)

The two per-field ceilings in approvalVerify.js were checked independently,
but the fee a validator is paid is gasLimit × fee per gas: a gas limit and a
fee each under their own ceiling still multiply to thousands of ETH, which a
gas-consuming contract really collects. assertWithinCeilings now also bounds
that product against MAX_TOTAL_FEE (1 ETH), so both callers — populating the
dApp transaction and verifying the signed artifact — refuse it with a full
sentence naming the fee and the limit.

The wallet's own send in confirmTx.js pinned no fee fields, so ethers filled
them from the node with no bound; it now populates the transaction and runs the
same check before signing, showing the same error in the confirmation screen's
reserved errors box so nothing on screen moves.
