wallet, rpc: The getnewaddress RPC fails for external-signer wallets

[hebasto]

According to the doc/external-signer.md:

Create a wallet, this automatically imports the public keys

Instead I'm getting an error:

$ src/bitcoin-cli -rpcwallet=hww getnewaddress
error code: -4
error message:
Error: This wallet has no available keys
$ src/bitcoin-cli -rpcwallet=hww getwalletinfo

You might have missed "active":true in importdescriptors ?

Cannot reproduce on the current master (3755dea).
