Support for Diamonds

[mudgen]

It would be great if web3.js provided support for deploying and upgrading diamonds. The Diamond Standard is here: ethereum/EIPs#2535

Here is an example of a tool (in Python) that helps manage diamonds: https://github.com/lampshade9909/DiamondSetter

I've briefly gone over the draft EIP and it looks very interesting. This is a Dapp framework specific issue, perhaps if wider adoption came it would make sense to implement. That being said, I'm curious to hear what exactly you envision direct support to be?

@GregTheGreek Thanks for taking a look at this!

Support would be these things: Make it easier to deploy and upgrade diamonds. For example provide a function that takes a diamond proxy and a list of facet addresses and deploys them all and adds the facets to the diamond at the same time.

It sounds like this might be better suited for an independent js tool in all honesty. Support for very specific EIP like this is a tough to draw the line at what should and shouldn't be included, as you can imagine there are a lot of EIPs.

I think we'll close this for now, but please feel free to re-open this in the future if you believe its gotten to the point where its very widely adopted :)
