42bbe5ddeb Refactored the core signing & encryption library, teach sigtool to use safe I/O.
* Added new SafeFile (io.WriteCloser) class + methods to atomically write a file.
* Teach core lib to use SafeFile for all file I/O
* Teach sigtool to use SafeFile for all file I/O
* Cleaned up the public interfaces of sign/ to be more coherent:
   - with uniform APIs for marshaling, unmarshaling, serialization.
   - removed KeyPair class/interface and stick to PrivateKey as the primary
     interface.
* collected common rand utility functions into rand.go
* Teach sigtool to NOT overwrite existing output files (keys, signatures etc.)
* Teach sigtool to use a new --overwrite option for every command that creates
  files (generate, sign, encrypt, decrypt)
* encrypt/decrypt will try to use the input file mode/perm where possible
  (unless input is stdin).
* Added more tests

e22fae05f7 Better handling of sender verification
* Sender identity is never shared in the encrypted payload
* Sender signs the data-encryption key via Ed25519 if sender-auth is
  desired; else a "signature" of all zeroes is used. In either case, this
  signature is encrypted with the same data-encryption key.
* cleaned up stale code and updated tests

00542dec02 Major breaking changes: Reworked file encryption scheme
* all encryption now uses ephmeral curve25519 keys
* sender can identify themselves by providing a signing key
* sign/verify now uses a string prefix for calculating checksum of the
  incoming message + known prefix [prevents us from verifying unknown
  blobs]
* encrypt/decrypt key is now expanded with a known prefix _and_ the
  header checksum
* protobuf definition changed to include an encrypted sender
  identification blob (sender public key)
* moved protobuf files into an internal/pb directory
* general code rearrangement to make it easy to find files
* added extra validation for reading all keys
* bumped version to 1.0.0
