add utility to derive a seed from a password

David Vorick requested to merge siac-pass-to-seed into master

MERGE REQUEST

Overview

Add a siac utility that allows you to derive a seed from a password. The password is hashed using blake2b and then the result is converted to a seed phrase. I needed this for personal reasons - I can now use my encryption passwords to recover my files + crypto - and since I had to write it anyway I figured I'd add it to siac.

Example for Visual changes (ie Screenshot)

Note that the password for this seed is 'a'
