fix: make BIP21 URI scheme network-aware for BitcoinPurple

Adds BIP21_URI_SCHEME to AbstractNet (default 'bitcoin'), overridden
to 'btcp' in BitcoinPurple. All parse/create/scan paths now use
constants.net.BIP21_URI_SCHEME so QR codes with btcp:... URIs are
correctly recognised and generated on the Purple network.
