Subject: [PATCH] Ability to restore Eth Identity from without Signer

```js
import path from "path";
import ODBKeystore from "orbit-db-keystore";
import Identities from "orbit-db-identity-provider";

const account = accounts[0];
const odbIdentitykeysPath = path.join("./orbitdb", "identity", "identitykeys");
const keystore = new ODBKeystore(odbIdentitykeysPath);
// if account exist in IDB: restore else sign
const identity = await keystore.hasKey(account)
    ? await Identities.createIdentity({
        type: "orbitdb",
        id: account,
    })
   : await Identities.createIdentity({
        type: "ethereum",
        wallet: provider.getSigner(),
    });
```
