fix(sdk-coin-xtz): verify destination and amount in verifyTransaction

Previously, Xtz.verifyTransaction only checked that the recipient
count was at most 1, then returned true unconditionally. This meant
a compromised prebuild service could redirect an XTZ transfer to an
attacker-controlled address and the local signer would still sign it.

This fix decodes the transaction from txPrebuild.txHex when a single
recipient is present and compares the encoded destination address and
amount against txParams.recipients[0]. Any decode failure or mismatch
throws, failing closed to prevent silent fund redirection.

Behavior is unchanged when no recipients or no txHex are present (e.g.
wallet initialization transactions), preserving backward compatibility.
