When running https://tendermint.com/intro/getting-started/deploy-testnet , and attempting to run dummy to query for "abcd", it doesn't work.

broadcast_tx_sync?tx="abcd" is actually posting the hex bytes, 0xabcd as the transaction, not the string "abcd". We should probably fix this to be more intuitive. We should also update the tutorial.

So, to query, you have to do:

query 0xabcd

The return says, {"index":0,"value":"\ufffd\ufffd","exists":true}, the \ufffd is an artifact of stringifying 0xabcd in JSON. This is also confusing.

Ideally we can call broadcast_tx_sync?tx=0xabcd, which would be consistent w/ tmsp-cli query. I think we can make a rule in go-rpc HTTP handler.go that anything preceded by "0x" is to be interpreted as bytes, otherwise is a JSON thing.

Also, https://tendermint.com/intro/getting-started/deploy-testnet still refers to "broadcast_tx", when it should be broadcast_tx_sync.
