The motivation of this change is to move away from tying signing to be
specifically for ed25519. The reason being that the protocol will want move
towards two different kinds of signing – the node signing artifacts, and an
author signing artifacts.
This change captures the former, node signing, by introducing a `Device` type
that is the `NodeId` – a PublicKey underneath the hood – and a signing
mechanism. This allows the replacement of the `Signer` trait being used – which
always assumed a `PublicKey`. Instead, the `Device` is constructed with
`NodeId`.
In `radicle-cob`, a signer is expected to implement
`signature::Signer<ExtendedSignature>`, and everywhere in `radicle`,
`radicle-node`, `radicle-cli`, and `radicle-remote-helper` is expected the
signer is expected to implement `signature::Signer<Signature>`.
A `Device` implements both of these but only requires
`signature::Signer<Signature>` to do so – since an `ExtendedSignature` is
essentially `(PublicKey, Signature)`, and the `NodeId` of the `Device` can be
used.
In interactive (user) contexts, use `try_sign` instead of `sign`.
We also revisit the `Profile` by adding a `signer` method that can
fail, eg. if we couldn't connect to ssh-agent.
Finally, we replace `UnsafeSigner` with `MemorySigner`, which makes
use of `ssh::Keystore`.

The crypto types are useful to use in other components that are
separate from the radicle crate, e.g. the incoming radicle-cobs
crate.
Separate out the types into a radicle-crypto crate. This crate defines
the usual PublicKey, SecretKey, and Signature types. It also provides
the ssh functionality, under the `ssh` feature. It is also necessary
to provide the `From` impl for `Component` here, which again is
guarded by the `git-ref-format` feature.
The `Arbitrary` implementation are moved. The arbitrary decision of
redefining `ByteArray` in both radicle-crypto and radicle was made.
