What does it do?
It solves polkadot-js/apps#6592 at the runtime level, which currently is preventing users from changing their reward address through the UI.
AccountId32 and [u8;32] encode equally so no need to worry for migrations (I added a test asserting that, which we can remove if we feel its not needed).
I am happy to wait for the UI changes, this PR is just in case we want to accelerate the process
