feat: add complete Palladium testnet support to ElectrumX

This commit implements full support for both Palladium mainnet and testnet
networks in ElectrumX, allowing users to switch between them via configuration.

Changes:
- Dockerfile: Fixed coin class registration by adding Palladium classes
  directly to coins.py instead of using external imports (avoids circular
  dependency). Both /usr/local/lib and /electrumx/src files are patched.
  Added required TX_COUNT, TX_COUNT_HEIGHT, TX_PER_BLOCK attributes.

- README.md: Updated with comprehensive network support documentation
  including network comparison table, step-by-step switching instructions,
  testnet-specific information, and corrected COIN/NET usage.

- docker-compose.yml: Configured for testnet with proper COIN and NET
  environment variables. Added clear comments for mainnet/testnet switching.

Network Configuration:
- Mainnet: COIN="Palladium" NET="mainnet" port 2332
- Testnet: COIN="Palladium" NET="testnet" port 12332
  (Note: COIN value is always "Palladium" for both networks)

Tested successfully with Palladium testnet node - synced 6,576 blocks
and serving on TCP:50001 and SSL:50002.
