Steven Roose eeb53bc143 cmd/ethkey: new command line tool for keys (#15438)
ethkey is a new tool that serves as a command line interface to
the basic key management functionalities of geth. It currently
supports:
 
 - generating keyfiles
 - inspecting keyfiles (print public and private key)
 - signing messages
 - verifying signed messages
