Notably verifymessage and decrypt(message) were silently ignoring trailing garbage
or inserted non-base64 characters present in signatures/ciphertext.
(both the CLI commands and in the GUI)
I think it is much cleaner and preferable to treat such signatures/ciphertext as invalid.
In fact I find it surprising that base64.b64decode(validate=False) is the default.
Perhaps we should create a helper function for it that set validate=True and use that.
- both internal and external plugins require GUI install
(except internal HW plugins, which are 'auto-loaded' and hidden)
- remove init_qt hook
- in Qt, reload wallet windows if plugin enabled/disabled
- add 'uninstall' button to PluginDialog
- add 'add plugins' button to wizard hw screen
- add icons to the plugin list
Instead of some functions operating with hex strings,
and others using bytes, this consolidates most things to use bytes.
This mainly focuses on bitcoin.py and transaction.py,
and then adapts the API usages in other files.
Notably,
- scripts,
- pubkeys,
- signatures
should be bytes in almost all places now.

pity. it looked to be a neat and concise pattern.
Required a much higher mental load to parse the name "convert_bip32_path_to_list_of_uint32"
than to parse "convert_bip32_strpath_to_intpath".
And we already have the ~inverse: "convert_bip32_intpath_to_strpath".
