XChainPy2 Crypto utils and keystore management

How it works

Typically keystore files encrypt a seed to a file, however this is not appropriate or UX friendly, since the phrase cannot be recovered after the fact.

Crypto design:

[entropy] -> [phrase] -> [seed] -> [privateKey] -> [publicKey] -> [address]

Instead, XCHAIN-CRYPTO stores the phrase in a keystore file, then decrypts and passes this phrase to other clients:

[keystore] -> XCHAIN-CRYPTO -> [phrase] -> ChainClient

The ChainClients can then convert this into their respective key-pairs and addresses. Users can also export their phrases after the fact, ensuring they have saved it securely. This could enhance UX onboarding since users aren't forced to write their phrases down immediately for empty or test wallets.
