Add NewAddress public function #9

Pull Request Overview
This PR introduces the NewAddress public function to create smart contract addresses, migrating functionality from elrond-go's BlockChainHookImpl to elrond-go-core with modified parameter signature.
- Adds
NewAddressfunction that creates smart contract addresses using creator address, nonce, and VM type - Introduces supporting error definitions for address and VM type validation
- Implements helper functions for address generation using keccak256 hashing

The comment has grammatical errors. It should read: 'Prefix mask is applied for the first 8 bytes as 0, and for bytes 9-10 as VM type'
| // Prefix mask is applied for first 8 bytes 0, and for bytes 9-10 - VM type | |
| // Prefix mask is applied for the first 8 bytes as 0, and for bytes 9-10 as VM type |

There's a grammatical error in the comment. It should be 'from the creator's address' (with an apostrophe) instead of 'from the creators address'

Converting byte slice to string and back to bytes is inefficient. The keccak.Compute method likely accepts []byte directly, or you should use a method that accepts byte slices to avoid unnecessary conversion.

NewAddressfunction from elrond-go.NewAddressis a method ofBlockChainHookImpl(which will be removed in the future).NewAddressonly uses the length ofpubkeyConv(structure member) fromBlockChainHookImpl(structure).pubkeyConvis used as an input parameter.Function signature in elrond-go:
-> func (bh *BlockChainHookImpl) NewAddress(creatorAddress []byte, creatorNonce uint64, vmType []byte) ([]byte, error)
Function signature in here(elrond-go-core):
-> func NewAddress(creatorAddress []byte, addressLength int, creatorNonce uint64, vmType []byte) ([]byte, error)
