fix: typed data for another chain cannot be signed (closes #519)

EIP-712 has a wallet refuse typed data whose domain chainId is not the
active chain, because the signature is valid on the chain it names. The
sign screen now shows such a request with the reason on its error line
and Sign disabled, the same way it refuses a mismatched primary type.
The background checks again when the signature comes back, against the
network active then, and answers the site with that refusal instead of
the signature. A chain id is read as ethers signs it, so 1, "1" and
"0x1" are one chain. Typed data with no chainId signs as before.
