[ethers] generate typings for the contract-returning methods

See original GitHub issue

The ethers main Contract class has a bunch of methods that return another instance of the same contract, e.g.

    connect(signerOrProvider: Signer | Provider | string): Contract;
    attach(addressOrName: string): Contract;

These methods should also be included in the generated .d.ts contract files, so the returned instances are also properly typed. What do you think? I could maybe make a PR for this some time.
