Create wallet API endpoint

[olemis]

Implement [POST] api/wallets

Should create a new wallet (address) in the blockchain.

Response:

{
 // Private key, which will be used to
 // sign transactions by the [POST] /api/sign
“privateKey”: ”string”,
 // Address which identifies the wallet in the blockchain
“publicAddress”: “string”,
 // Any non security sensitive data associated with
 // wallet. This context will be passed to
 // [POST] /api/transactions/*. 
 // Can be empty.
 “addressContext”: “string”
}

Please check this mismatch:

    return {
        "privateKey": binascii.hexlify(bytearray(seckey.toStr())).decode('ascii'),
        "publicAddress": new_wallet["entries"][0]["address"],
        "addressContext": new_wallet['meta']['filename']
    }

and

{
 // Private key, which will be used to
 // sign transactions by the [ POST] /api/sign
 “privateKey”: ”string”,
 // Address which identifies the wallet in the blockchain
 “publicAddress”: “string”
}
