In case of sr25519 and ed25519 crypto, the account id matches public key, hence SS58 encoded account-id address is the same as SS58 public key encoding.
In case of ECDSA, we blake2 the public key to get the address (due to size difference 33 vs 32 bytes), so the SS58 encoding was different.
Why is SS58 encoding of public key necessary at all?
Default Ser/De implementation for public keys is using SS58 encoding, hence every time we use public keys in encoded form we are going to need it's SS58 encoding. A notable case is chain spec JSON file and encoding of session keys (most importantly BEEFY).
This PR adds display of SS58 encoding of raw public key to make it easy to add BEEFY keys to chain spec json file.
