Avoid conflicts with other extensions, implementing crypto.signText() #2

There are others, trying to implement it from scratch, like this and this. Experience shows users will try to install all, or at least will have it installed before that. Have to check if we can mark conflicting extensions under some platforms and issue a user message if the class is already implemented somehow.

It is possible to detect it, at the moment the extension simply skips loading if another piece of code implements the same function.

We can issue a message if the function is already there, only if this script is loaded after the other one.

In the other case, we can't detect if something overwrites our function. So in that case we can't show a message either.

AFAIK extensions load asyncronously, and I don't know a way to force a specific order of loading.

Hm, let's leave that open then, we may think of something "clever" ;)
