Subject: [PATCH 1/2] tvx extract: make it work with secp messages.

Unfortunately ChainGetMessage returns a *types.Message, which in
the case of secp messages is lacking the signature. The signature
is part of the input to calculate the CID on secp messages. Therefore,
calling `.Cid()` on the result of ChainGetMessage for this kind of
message will lead to an incorrect CID.

tvx was relying on that call to return the correct CID. Since this is
not the case (and this is a footgun that needs to be corrected, ideally
together with the *types.{,Signed}Message duality mess), I'm replacing
the comparison.
