accounts/abi/bind/base,accounts/abi/bind/bind_test,accounts/abi/bind/template: Removing accessor for Address as it is redundent (address is required even in the generated code), Adding test for new methods, fixing issue with call to .Normalized.Name and not Original.Name and moving GetABI to the combined binding implementation insead of the raw (Note: it might be nice to use generics here to clean up the template and bindings).
