bip-0044: add Requires header for BIP32 and BIP43

### Summary This PR adds a `Requires: 32, 43` header to BIP-0044. ### Motivation BIP-0044 explicitly states in its abstract and specification that it is based on the HD wallet structure defined in BIP-0032 and applies the purpose scheme defined in BIP-0043. This dependency is currently described in the text but could be extended to the preamble. This change would make BIP-0044 more consistent to the BIP process and would make its interoperability with other BIPs clearer.
