This PR updates the new private key generation to be NIP06-compliant. This basically means the entropy is generated using a mnemonic phrase per BIP39 and used as the seed for a BIP32 master key. The private key for the account is then derived from mater key using the designated derivation path of m/44'/1237'/0'/0/0. Support for restoring an account from a mnemonic key is also supported. Note: restoring from a phrase assumes the account was created using a phrase at the beginning.
