Merge PR #2881: Don't call gaiacli tx sign. Use utils.SignStdTx() instead.

This is to avoid command redirection and reduce the use
of viper's global variables.

Closes: #2875

   * [cli] [\#2829](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/2829) add-genesis-account command now validates state when adding accounts
   * [cli] [\#2804](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/2804) Check whether key exists before passing it on to `tx create-validator`.
   * [cli] [\#2874](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/2874) `gaiacli tx sign` takes an optional `--output-document` flag to support output redirection.
+  * [cli] [\#2875](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/2875) Refactor `gaiad gentx` and avoid redirection to `gaiacli tx sign` for tx signing.
