Clarify missing nonce use
Description
The way possible_next_nonce is calculated wasn't explicitly defined, previously using the term "derived", making it harder to understand whether missing nonces should be inspected when creating new transaction or trying to get existing transactions unstuck.
The changes include more explicit language, as well as minor changes more aligned with how Nakamoto works (no more mention of microblcks).
Type of Change

- [ ] Bug fix

Does this introduce a breaking change?
No, just docs were updated
Are documentation updates required?
It would be nice if the API docs were updated too, since the reason I came here (and asked on Discord) was because the API docs didn't seem to be clear enough
