Philip Hayes 2249215260 rpc: add SignMessage and VerifyMessage interface
This commit allows users to sign messages with their node's private key
with the SignMessage interface. The signatures are zbase32 encoded for
human readability/paste-ability.  Others users can verify that a message
was signed by another node in their channel database with the
VerifyMessage interface.
