Make GRANDPA generic over signature #1072

This will be necessary to support Schnorr-Ristretto or other signature schemes which @burdges is investigating.

As we generalize more work over signature schemes, it may prove useful to have a set of traits for dealing with signatures and identity in abstract.

We likely want specific usages to declare their own interface, not sure.
