In this commit, we implement a series of new crypto operations that will
allow us to encrypt and decrypt a set of serialized channel backups.
Their various backups may have distinct encodings when serialized, but
to the functions defined in this file, we treat them as simple opaque
blobs.
For encryption, we utilize chacha20poly1305 with a random 24 byte nonce.
We use a larger nonce size as this can be safely generated via a CSPRNG
without fear of frequency collisions between nonces generated. To
encrypt a blob, we then use this nonce as the AD (associated data) and
prepend the nonce to the front of the ciphertext package.
For key generation, in order to ensure the user only needs their
passphrase and the backup file, we utilize the existing keychain to
derive a private key. In order to ensure that at we don't force any
hardware signer to be aware of our crypto operations, we instead opt to
utilize a public key that will be hashed to derive our private key. The
assumption here is that this key will only be exposed to this software,
and never derived as a public facing address.
