Pull request description:
This implements [BIP 350](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0350.mediawiki):
* For segwit v1+ addresses, a new checksum algorithm called Bech32m is used.
* Segwit v0 address keep using Bech32 as specified in [BIP 173](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0173.mediawiki).
