Add `validate_domain` Electrum option

[rajarshimaitra]

Since https://github.com/bitcoindevkit/bdk/commit/8d4cc3920ab4177fd0f3916155671b1067285eda bdk opens the validate_domain option in electrum config. We should also expose it via bdk-cli electrum options.

Hi! 👋 I’d like to work on this issue and expose the validate_domain option in bdk-cli for Electrum. Could I take this up?

Hi Peter,

Thanks for assigning me to #134! I’m excited to work on adding the validate_domain option.

I wasn’t able to locate the CLI file (electrum.rs or similar) in the repo. Could you point me to where it is, or how I can find it?

Thanks a lot! Rahamath

Hi 👋,

I’ve studied the codebase and the contribution guidelines, made the necessary modifications to expose the validate_domain option in bdk-cli, and tested it locally. Here is the Pull Request: PR #223 Looking forward to your review! Thanks
