eth_signTransaction not supported

See original GitHub issue

As of Ganache 6.2.1, using web3.eth.signTransaction(...) returns Method eth_signTransaction not supported.

We run our test suite against ganache, and some tests can’t run because of this.

eth_signTransaction is not currently part of the Ethereum JSON-RPC spec. Here is the EIP issue proposing to add it: ethereum/EIPs#728

With that said, it looks like geth and parity already support it, as well as web3 and MetaMask.

As long as geth and parity agree on the implementation I don’t see any harm in adding it to gananche.
