Propose to move EIP-695 to last call status (#1566)

Browse Source 
* Propose to move EIP-695 to last call status

* Add a discussion link

* Formatting fix

* Fix @sorpaas handle in author field

* Use EIP155 formatting for `CHAIN_ID`

* Formatting fix for "chain ID"

The document had places where we use lowercase "id" and uppercase "ID". This unify them to use uppercase "ID".

* Update eip-695.md

## Simple Summary
Include `eth_chainId` method in `eth_`-namespaced JSON-RPC methods.
## Abstract
The `eth_chainId` method should return a single STRING result
for an integer value in hexadecimal format, describing the
currently configured "Chain Id" value used for signing replay-protected transactions,
currently configured `CHAIN_ID` value used for signing replay-protected transactions,
introduced via [EIP-155](./eip-155.md).
## Motivation
Currently although we can use net_version RPC call to get the
Currently although we can use `net_version` RPC call to get the
current network ID, there's no RPC for querying the chain ID. This
makes it impossible to determine the current actual blockchain using
the RPC.
## Specification

### `eth_chainId`

Returns the currently configured chain ID, a value used in replay-protected transaction
signing as introduced by [EIP-155](./eip-155.md).
##### Parameters
none
#### Parameters
##### Returns
None.
`QUANTITY` - integer of the current chain id. Defaults are mainnet=61, morden=62.
#### Returns
`QUANTITY` - integer of the current chain ID.
#### Example
##### Example
```js
curl -X POST --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_chainId","params":[],"id":1}'

----
## Rationale
An ETH/ETC client can accidentally connect to an ETC/ETH RPC
endpoint without knowing it unless it tries to sign a transaction or
it fetch a transaction that is known to have signed with a chain
ID. This has since caused trouble for application developers, such as
MetaMask, to add multi-chain support.

## Backwards Compatibility
Not relevant.
## Test Cases
Not currently implemented.
## Implementation
Would be good to have a test to confirm that expected==got.

## Reference
Return value `QUANTITY` adheres to standard JSON RPC hex value encoding, as documented here: https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/JSON-RPC#hex-value-encoding.
