Cleanup Ethereum RPC client

See original GitHub issue

Right now, the EthereumConnection uses two different connections

HTTP for all basic RPCs,
Websocket for subscriptions.

It would be nice to have a generic EthereumRpcClient that uses a different implementation depending on the base URL (very similar to the Tendermint-RPC Client). This EthereumRpcClient does not have subscription functionality when used with a http implementation.

This can be split into two steps:

Update implementation respecting baseUrl and EthereumConnectionOptions.wsUrl in an intelligent way
Remove field EthereumConnectionOptions.wsUrl (API breaking)

@willclarktech I was never facing a case where a WS connection was possible but HTTP was preferred. In some cases the stateless HTTP is better/easier, but as soon as a WS URL is provided and WS is used, it is safe to assume everything should go via WS.
