Rusty Russell bcabb3825f Makefile: Revert ba7d4a8f6b (make-schema: don't include tools/fromschema.py in SHASUMS)
1. If the tool changes, you need to regenerate since the output may
   change.

2. This didn't just filter that out, ignored all but the first
   dependency, which made bisecting the bookkeeper plugin a nightmare:
   it didn't regenerate the .po file, causing random crashes.

If we want this, try $(filter-out tools/fromschema.py) instead.  But I
don't think we want that.

lightning-signmessage -- Command to create a signature from this node
=====================================================================
SYNOPSIS
--------
**signmessage** *message*
DESCRIPTION
-----------
The **signmessage** RPC command creates a digital signature of
*message* using this node's secret key. A receiver who knows your
node's *id* and the *message* can be sure that the resulting signature could
only be created by something with access to this node's secret key.
*message* must be less that 65536 characters.
RETURN VALUE
------------
[comment]: # (GENERATE-FROM-SCHEMA-START)
On success, an object is returned, containing:
- **signature** (hex): The signature (always 128 characters)
- **recid** (hex): The recovery id (0, 1, 2 or 3) (always 2 characters)
- **zbase** (string): *signature* and *recid* encoded in a style compatible with **lnd**'s [SignMessageRequest](https://api.lightning.community/#grpc-request-signmessagerequest)
