Description

https://docs.nethermind.io/interacting/json-rpc-ns/proof

it doesn't follow what we have here: https://github.com/NethermindEth/nethermind/blob/master/src/Nethermind/Nethermind.JsonRpc/Modules/Proof/IProofRpcModule.cs

For example for proof_getTransactionReceipt
This function should return the same result as eth_call and also proofs of all used accounts and their storages and serialized block headers.

but in the code for the same method we have: Returns the same data as eth_getTransactionReceipt plus Merkle-Patricia proofs of the transaction's inclusion in the block's transactionsRoot and of the receipt's inclusion in the block's receiptsRoot. When includeHeader is true, the RLP-encoded block header is also returned, allowing proofs to be verified against the block's roots.

Code is correct
