Description
The following Signature Operations require a check to distinguish between
Schnorr / DER Signatures using the Secp256k1 curve. I've submitted a PR for this
issue at https://github.com/rojii/bcash/commit/0ca7dad12adee0e3e0d71e9b11f710cd3b1e2e06

Research direction
Start by locating the OP_CHECKSIG and OP_CHECKDATASIG implementations and review the submitted change at the referenced commit. Compare how signature types on the secp256k1 curve are distinguished, then verify that both opcodes handle Schnorr and DER signatures as required for the May 15 hard fork.
