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.
1. Adds a user-agent string to the node announcement. This lets us keep
track of what software version everyone is running. Especially useful
to see what percentage of the network has upgraded to a new release.
For old nodes, this defaults to the string `/radicle/`.
The user agent format is roughly based on BIP 0014.
2. Advertize protocol version in node announcement.
By advertizing the protocol version, nodes can decide to only connect to
peers with a compatible version. The default and current version is `1`.
We bundle these two changes as they both modify the node announcement
and node database.
3. Swap the order of the fields in announcements to make the message
extensible.
Previously, we would process any valid inventory or refs announcement.
This could cause problems for keeping sync statuses, as we could get
a refs announcement from a node that isn't in our database.
In practice, there is no good reason why we should receive a refs or
inventory announcement before the announcer's node announcement, unless
nodes are not following the protocol.
Implementing this change meant that many of the tests needed updating,
as it wasn't assumed that a node announcement was needed before
receiving inventories etc. from a peer.
We also had to implement a basic form of node address banning to make
the tests pass after this change.
To support ssh-agent, add a signing method that can fail.
Also cleanup usage so that we always accept signer references.

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.
