keccak256/sha3 in web3-utils module must be accepting Buffer

[coldcode001]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

Seems it's missing in https://github.com/ChainSafe/web3.js/blob/1.x/packages/web3-utils/types/index.d.ts, could we revise the types definition? otherwise we need to suppress the warnings/erros in typescript.
export function sha3(value: string | BN): string | null;

Expected Behavior

export function sha3(value: string | BN | Buffer): string | null;
export function sha3Raw(value: string | BN | Buffer): string;

Steps to Reproduce

https://github.com/ChainSafe/web3.js/blob/1.x/packages/web3-utils/types/index.d.ts

Web3.js Version

1.7.3

Environment

No response

Anything Else?

Not sure if other methods in v1.x have same issue. But I checked v4.x and it's already fixed.

Thanks @coldcode001 for opening the issue.
Yes, we worked on accepting more types for sha3 in version 4.x
However, it seems to me like a feature-request rather than a bug. The function just works exactly as expected according to the documentation (https://web3js.readthedocs.io/en/v1.2.11/web3-utils.html#sha3)
