The problem here is that in the sr25519 and ed25519 curves the
zero-address public key has a known private key.

The Default implementation of AccountId returned the zero-address. Since developers
frequently reach for Default it is entirely possible that they could shoot themselves
in the foot unknowingly. For example, assigning a contract owner to the zero address
and not updating it, or using it as a burn address.

There's also an argument to be made that the concept of the Default address doesn't
make sense anyways, and we shouldn't be giving this specific address a special treatment.

Closes #1110.
