Subject: [PATCH] feat: Error on blank chain-id in multisign command (backport
 #9593) (#9606)

* feat: Error on blank chain-id in multisign command (#9593)

Error on `tx multisign` command if chain-id is blank. This is a common cause of signature verification failures when combining signatures and the error message doesn't provide any clues to this common cause.
