Make separate "CreateCertificate" and "CreateSelfSignedCertificate"
functions to take the two roles of NewCert. These names should help
clarify that they actually make certificates and not just allocate new
"Cert" or "Certificate" objects.
Secondly, in the case of non-self-signed certs, require a public and a
private key to be passed in instead of two private keys, because it's
pretty hard to tell when reading code which one is meant to be the
signer and which one is the signee. With a public and private key, you
know.
(These are some changes I made in the course of the openssl port,
because the NewCert function kept being confusing to me. It's possible
I'm just being ridiculous, and this doesn't help improve readability for
anyone else, but if I'm not being ridiculous let's get this in)
this change removes the cryptopasta dependency.
a couple possible sources of problem with this change:
* the encoding used for ECDSA signatures on SignedMessage has changed.
the encoding employed by cryptopasta was workable, but not the same
as the encoding used for such signatures in the rest of the world
(most particularly, on ECDSA signatures in X.509 certificates). I
think we'll be best served by using one ECDSA signature encoding from
here on, but if we need to use the old encoding for backwards
compatibility with existing nodes, that can be arranged.
* since there's already a breaking change in SignedMessage, I changed
it to send and receive public keys in raw PKIX format, instead of
PEM. PEM just adds unhelpful overhead for this case.
* pkg/identity: use sha256 instead of sha3 for pow

* cmd/identity: indefinite key generation command
you can start this command and leave it running and it will fill up your
hard drive with node certificate authority private keys ordered by
difficulty.
