fix: zero-tx warning layout shift and contract address false positive

- Reserve space for the warning upfront using visibility:hidden instead
  of display:none, preventing layout shift per README policy
- Move warning HTML to index.html as a static element rather than
  injecting dynamically
- Skip warning for contract addresses (check getCode first) since
  getTransactionCount only returns outgoing tx nonce
- Collapse reserved space when warning is not needed (address has
  history, is a contract, or on RPC error)
