Change Description

Following feedback and requests, the ecc helper functions have been renamed to match the eosjs-ecc methods where possible. A private key generation method has also been added, as well as a PublicKey.toLegacyString() method for backwards compatibility.

Lastly, an ecc exported object is available with all the functions eosjs-ecc has that utilizes the new functions.

Second PR to cherry pick commits to release/21.0.x branch
