Generalize Genutil Genesis Transaction

[rigelrozanski]

REF #4422

Genesis transactions are currently designed specifically for Staking Create-Validator transactions - This should be abstracted in such a way that any module can register acceptable genesis transactions and special genesis-time transaction validity checks. This registration process should take place during application definition (app.go).

What approach would be best for this issue? I would like to generalize it for the POA module as right now, I'm duplicating the gentx logic. @rigelrozanski can you point me in the direction you had in mind?

We would need to define a new interface probably something like:

type GenesisMsgExecution interface {
  MsgParsable(sdk.Msg) bool // is the sdk.Msg can be parsed into specific message struct used in this genesis transaction 
  ValidateTx(sdk.Msg) error
  ExecuteGenesisTx(sdk.Msg) error
}

which could be defined on a per-module basis and passed into genutils here https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/blob/master/simapp/app.go#L177

The registration process would be the passing it in.
