fix: accept readonly arrays in LogTopic type

[nikicat]

Summary

LogTopic is changed from Hex | Hex[] | null to Hex | readonly Hex[] | null. Since readonly T[] is a supertype of T[], this accepts both mutable and readonly arrays.

LogTopicType conditional is updated correspondingly: it now matches readonly Hex[] (which includes Hex[]) and produces readonly primitiveType[].

Motivation

TypeScript's readonly T[] is not assignable to T[]. Users who define topic arrays with as const or receive them from functions returning readonly arrays get type errors when passing them to getLogs, createEventFilter, watchEvent, etc.

Log topic filters are read-only by nature — they're passed to JSON-RPC calls and never mutated — so accepting readonly arrays is both correct and expected.

This is a non-breaking change: all existing mutable-array code continues to work since T[] is assignable to readonly T[].
