did:ethr doesn't support the spec it references #287

Description

@vdods

The did-ethr resolver works great on etherium address DIDs (ones whose hex string is 40 chars long), but returns with invalidDid for public key hex DIDs (ones whose hex string is 66 chars long). The spec that it (

if address.len() != 42 {
) references is https://github.com/decentralized-identity/ethr-did-resolver/blob/master/doc/did-method-spec.md -- partial support wouldn't necessarily be a problem, except that I'm unable to override the resolver (I'm using didkit-cli or equivalently didkit-http) to use a custom DID resolver for did:ethr (such as universal resolver).

I think this ticket belongs to both ssi and didkit repos, since there are resolution paths for both of them. Though obviously the better solution is to have ssi support the whole did:ethr spec.
