Backport #8200 to v7.7.9. Original commit description:
The method registry was being initialized with the global variable
`ethereumProvider` before that variable was set. As a result, the
method registry was falling back to an internally constructed provider
that used the wrong provider URL (an obsolete Infura API). This was
resulting in an error with the message "Project ID not found".
The method registry is now initialized lazily, when it's first needed.
This should be well after the initialization of `ethereumProvider`,
which occurs during the UI initialization.
The `fetch-with-cache` utility was failing to actually cache anything.
It would cache an object with cache time and URL, and would return that
instead of a valid response. This resulted in the error:
`TypeError: fourByteResponse.json is not a function`
The utility was updated to call `.json()` within itself, and cache the
JSON response. The function signature was updated as well, to expect an
options object instead of just the `cacheRefreshTime` option. The
timeout was added to this options object, which helped with testing.
The utility method now also handles unsuccessfull responses, and
incompatible `fetch` options.
