This PR adds a new
DomainType
for use by applications adjacent to the core protocol so they can leverage the signing machinery developed here when working with consensus types.This PR only adds a single domain and expects applications using the domain type to mix in further unique tags for domain separation; otherwise they risk signature collisions.
An example use case is the work-in-progress Builder API where a validator may want to outsource block construction to a network of builders external to their local execution client. See ethereum/execution-apis#209 for details.
