signer, clef: implement EIP191/712 (#17789)

* Named functions and defined a basic EIP191 content type list * Written basic content type functions * Added ecRecover method in the clef api * Updated the extapi changelog and addded indications in the README * Changed the version of the external API * Added tests for 0x45 * Implementing UnmarshalJSON() for TypedData * Working on TypedData * Solved the auditlog issue * Changed method to signTypedData * Changed mimes and implemented the 'encodeType' function for EIP-712 * Polished docstrings, ran goimports and swapped fmt.Errorf with errors.New where possible * Drafted recursive encodeData * Ran goimports and gofmt * Drafted first version of EIP-712, including tests * Temporarily switched to using common.Address in tests * Drafted text/validator and and rewritten []byte as hexutil.Bytes * Solved stringified address encoding issue * Changed the property type required by signData from bytes to interface{} * Fixed bugs in 'data/typed' signs * Brought legal warning back after temporarily disabling it for development * Added example RPC calls for account_signData and account_signTypedData * Named functions and defined a basic EIP191 content type list * Written basic content type functions * Added ecRecover method in the clef api * Updated the extapi changelog and addded indications in the README * Added tests for 0x45 * Implementing UnmarshalJSON() for TypedData * Working on TypedData * Solved the auditlog issue * Changed method to signTypedData * Changed mimes and implemented the 'encodeType' function for EIP-712 * Polished docstrings, ran goimports and swapped fmt.Errorf with errors.New where possible * Drafted recursive encodeData * Ran goimports and gofmt * Drafted first version of EIP-712, including tests * Temporarily switched to using common.Address in tests * Drafted text/validator and and rewritten []byte as hexutil.Bytes * Solved stringified address encoding issue * Changed the property type required by signData from bytes to interface{} * Fixed bugs in 'data/typed' signs * Brought legal warning back after temporarily disabling it for development * Added example RPC calls for account_signData and account_signTypedData * Polished and fixed PR * Polished and fixed PR * Solved malformed data panics and also wrote tests * Solved malformed data panics and also wrote tests * Added alphabetical sorting to type dependencies * Added alphabetical sorting to type dependencies * Added pretty print to data/typed UI * Added pretty print to data/typed UI * signer: more tests for typed data * signer: more tests for typed data * Fixed TestMalformedData4 errors and renamed IsValid to Validate * Fixed TestMalformedData4 errors and renamed IsValid to Validate * Fixed more new failing tests and deanonymised some functions * Fixed more new failing tests and deanonymised some functions * Added types to EIP712 output in cliui * Added types to EIP712 output in cliui * Fixed regexp issues * Fixed regexp issues * Added pseudo-failing test * Added pseudo-failing test * Fixed false positive test * Fixed false positive test * Added PrettyPrint method * Added PrettyPrint method * signer: refactor formatting and UI * signer: make ui use new message format for signing * Fixed breaking changes * Fixed rules_test failing test * Added extra regexp for reference types * signer: more hard types * Fixed failing test, formatted files * signer: use golang/x keccak * Fixed goimports error * clef, signer: address some review concerns * Implemented latest recommendations * Fixed comments and uintint256 issue * accounts, signer: fix mimetypes, add interface to sign data with passphrase * signer, accounts: remove duplicated code, pass hash preimages to signing * signer: prevent panic in type assertions, make cliui print rawdata as quotable-safe * signer: linter fixes, remove deprecated crypto dependency * accounts: fix goimport

 ### Changelog for external API

+#### 5.0.0
+
+* The external `account_EcRecover`-method was reimplemented.
+* The external method `account_sign(address, data)` was replaced with `account_signData(contentType, address, data)`.
+The addition of `contentType` makes it possible to use the method for different types of objects, such as:
+  * signing data with an intended validator (not yet implemented)
+  * signing clique headers,
+  * signing plain personal messages,
+* The external method `account_signTypedData` implements [EIP-712](https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/blob/master/EIPS/eip-712.md) and makes it possible to sign typed data.
+  
 #### 4.0.0

 * The external `account_Ecrecover`-method was removed.
