fix: typed data with a missing field or a bool that is not true or false is refused (closes #552)

ethers signs a bool field by whether its value is truthy, so the string
"false" was shown as false and signed as true, and a bool field left out
was shown as nothing and signed as false. The sign screen now refuses
typed data whose message leaves out a declared field, at any level of
nesting, or holds a bool that is not true or false: the error line names
the field and Sign is disabled. The background refuses a signature for it
too. Presence is an own-key test, so a field named like a built-in
property such as constructor is not found by accident. signedPrimaryType()
moves to the shared module so the background reads the message as the
same type.
