Merge #15746: rpc: RPCHelpMan: Always name dictionary keys

fa26eb5e8f rpc: RPCHelpMan: Always push_name when outer type is an object (MarcoFalke)
fa652b229e rpc: Add some doxygen comments to utils (MarcoFalke)

Pull request description:

  Fixes two issues reported in #15737:

  * > I am very perplexed as to how the code I'm looking at is generating the help text I'm seeing

  So add documentation

  * > This is a value for which a key is missing

  So always serialize the name of the dictionary key if the outer type is a dictionary
