fix: estimate a request even when the site sends its gas limit (closes #554)

ethers asks the node for a gas estimate only when the request has no gas
limit, and that estimate is the wallet's only check that a transaction
does not revert. Since a site's `gas` became the gas limit, a reverting
request carrying one opened the approval window and could be signed and
mined to fail. Such a request is now estimated first, with the site's
limit and under the same timeout; a failure goes back to the site with no
window, and the site's gas limit is still the one shown and signed. A
limit too low for the call now fails the same way.
