[typescript] Account interface does not seems to be right

All issues which aren't created with this template will get immediately closed.
Hello,

I'm not sure the typing Account.signTransaction interface is correct here, should be that isn't it?

Expected behavior

    signTransaction(tx: Transaction, privateKey: string, callback?: () => void): Promise<SignedTransaction>;

source

or similar

Actual behavior

    signTransaction?: (tx: Transaction) => {};

source

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Use typescript
2. Install the version >1.0.0-beta.36
3. Use the Account typing definition

Error Logs

Expected 1 arguments, but got 2.ts(2554)

Versions

Typescript latest
npm latest

Hey @oktapodia Thanks for raising this looking at it you are correct. In actual fact the documents are incorrect as well https://web3js.readthedocs.io/en/1.0/web3-eth-accounts.html#signtransaction

I think it needs to be

signTransaction(tx: Transaction, callback?: (signTransaction: SignedTransaction) => void): Promise<SignedTransaction>;

as it gets your private key from your account so the typing's should be above.

I will do a PR later on and update the docs to be inline with the code. good spot!
