feat(keyring-controller): allow non-evm addresses for non-evm methods/functions

[ccharly]

Explanation

This allows support of non-EVM addresses for most keyring methods.

Right now, our addresses are just plain string, meaning we have not easy way to detect if an address is an ethereum one or not. So we use runtime check to verify this, and based on this we adapt some logic (mostly the address normalization right now).

Also, some Hex were being dropped in favor of string type to make addresses a bit more "generic".
