Fix: _jsonInterfaceMethodToString export in types

[zlumer]

Found a TypeScript export error in web3.js v1.x

web3.utils.jsonInterfaceMethodToString is exported with underscore in JS. In TS types however the underscore is not present.

Steps to reproduce:

import Web3 from "web3"

let web3 = new Web3()

console.log(`web3.utils.jsonInterfaceMethodToString: `, web3.utils.jsonInterfaceMethodToString)
// outputs: "web3.utils.jsonInterfaceMethodToString:  undefined"

console.log(`web3.utils._jsonInterfaceMethodToString: `, (web3.utils as any)._jsonInterfaceMethodToString)
// outputs: "web3.utils._jsonInterfaceMethodToString:  [Function: _jsonInterfaceMethodToString]"

This PR fixes this error in web3.js 1.x

Can we merge this or is anything blocking atm?

[Muhammad-Altabba]

Thanks @zlumer for your contribution.
To merge this you need to get all the tests to pass. So, could you please investigate why there is one failing?

[zlumer]

From what I can see in the logs, the problem seems to be with the infura connection.

Not sure if this has something to do with a simple one-character typings change.

Do any of the other PRs have the same problem?

Error: Process completed with exit code 1.

I just checked the Dependabot PRs (e.g. #5551) and they have the same error in the logs.

I suspect it may be the effect of The Merge and the testnet deprecation by Infura:

Thanks @zlumer,
Yes, it seems to be an irrelevant issue in the pipeline. And I created an issue for this based on your comment.
And I think this MR is good to go once we have additional approval from the team.

Could you please update the CHAINLOG.md file?
