types: export EIP1193Provider and LegacyEthereumProvider interfaces

[legobeat]

Description

This exports two new TypeScript declarations:

• EIP1993Provider: Encodes a provider for EIP1993
• LegacyEthereumProvider: Encodes a legacy Ethereum JSON RPC provider. Based on original work in https://github.com/MetaMask/eth-json-rpc-provider/pull/14

Motivation

As far as I know, there is no common explicit interface for the de-facto interface implemented by various Ethereum Json RPC providers. Across the MetaMask npm packages, there are currently use of differing implementations with mostly overlapping interfaces.

This PR introduces a common interface that can be applied regardless of implementations and used in MetaMask packages.

Example of situation where this will be useful

In Snaps we typically just import MetaMaskInpageProvider from @metamask/providers to get types for this. Do you think it's useful to export this from @metamask/utils?

~MetaMaskInpageprovider is a class which would satisfy the interface here.~ The intention here is to supply that common interface that can be used regardless of implementation when interfacing with internal providers like EthQuery et al.

looks good. I think we can do without EthJsonRpcProvider as I don't see when we would use the extra properties being defined
