This resolves an unintentional breaking change introduced in 8.2.0 in which StellarSdk.AccountResponse was no longer interchangeable with StellarBase.Account in things like TransactionBuilder. This also closes #653.

Limitations: Since the test suite is written in JavaScript rather than TypeScript, this is impossible to catch there. More work needs to be done to avoid this happening in the future.

This just changes Account -> AccountResponse, the rest is just
wrapping the docstrings @ 80 chars for aesthetics.

One note about the type signature of createSubaccount() but the substance of the change looks good 👍

The Account.createSubaccount() method doesn't have a type annotation:

https://stellar.github.io/js-stellar-sdk/js-stellar-base_src_account.js.html

My guess is that TypeScript will assume id is of type Any, in which case Account would still be incompatible with AccountResponse because createSubaccount()'s function signature doesn't match.

stellar-base is written in pure JavaScript, so its source will never have true type annotations (aside from in the jsdoc). They're provided after-the-fact in index.d.ts, where id is in fact specified to be a string. I've also made sure of this in a test script (based on #653).

Aside: The true long-term fix here is to make Account an interface just like in the Go SDK, with AccountResponse (at the SDK level) and another Account plus MuxedAccount (at the base level) being three implementations of it, but that's a bigger investment (and a major version bump) for Later:tm:.
