Description

Add to the documentation an explanation of when a transaction can be definitively considered as failed. This includes the nominal case, where a transaction is included in a final block as failed, but also more exotic cases such as:
- The transaction is not included in any block
- The transaction is only included in a block that is stale
- Other scenarios?
