fix: use the gas limit a site sends as gas (closes #207)

Sites send the gas limit under its JSON-RPC name, `gas`. ethers only
reads `gasLimit`, so the field was dropped and the node's estimate was
shown and signed instead. The page's request now takes `gas` as the gas
limit, and the existing ceiling, display and comparison with the signed
transaction cover it as they already did `gasLimit`. A request that
gives both with different values is refused.
