Description

**What problem are you trying to solve?**
As EIP-1191 it is a new standard it would be good to support it here.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
It will be nice to have in advanced settings a EIP-1191 checkbox. So if it is checked, metamask will be used that standard. By default it could be unchecked.

**Additional context**

Research direction

Start with the EIP-1191 specification linked in the issue, then locate MetaMask's advanced settings entry point. Trace how an unchecked setting currently selects the address standard and identify the affected wallet and UI paths. Done means the setting defaults to unchecked, enables EIP-1191 behavior when selected, and has coverage for both states.
