Wallet checksum similar to what Yoroi has #2388

Hi,

it would be convenient if on transactions a short checksum would be displayed. The checksum might entail the staking address and identify the wallet, and can be shown when the receive address is copied, and can be shown when it is pasted in supported wallets. This would ease the burden for the user to check the validity of the address every time a transaction is being made.

Best would be to use an existing standard or define one. Exchanges could implement this easily, or it could be done as a java-script snippet which can be run by the browser.
