Improve SignedExtension matching logic and remove SkipCheckIfFeeless bits (#1283)

* First pass making matching on signed exts more general and handlng SkipCheckifFeeless

* remove unneeded derives (only exts we can decode into are handled by the user)

* No SkipCheckIfFeeless in integration tests either

* Cargo fmt

* Remove SkipCheckIfFeeless specific logic

* clippy

* matches to just return bool, not result

* remove now-invalid comment

* return error from find if .iter() errors
