Some clients expect the session id to be globally unique,
so allowing the end devices to pick the session id will cause
problems.
Include the current ratchet index with the initial keys, this decreases
the risk that the client will supply the wrong index causing problems.
Sign the initial keys with the ratchet ed25519 key, this reduces the
risk of a client claiming a session that they didn't create.
Add ed25519 keys to the inbound and outbound sessions, and use them to sign and
verify megolm messages.
We just stuff the ed25519 public key in alongside the megolm session key (and
add a version byte), to save adding more boilerplate to the JS/python/etc
layers.
Repeat the fix from b10f90d for megolm messages.
It turns out that the 'length' argument to 'Pointer_stringify' doesn't work if
the input includes characters >= 128.
Rather than try to figure out which methods can return UTF-8, and which always
return plain ascii, replace all uses of Pointer_stringify with a 'length'
argument with the version that expects a NULL-terminated input, and extend the
buffer by a byte to allow space for a null-terminator.
In the case of decrypt, we need to add the null ourself.

We were using olm::KEY_LENGTH for everything under the sun which happened to be
32 bytes long, and making a bunch of assumptions in the process. Create a bunch
of new constants (as C #defines rather than C++ consts so that I can use them
in another forthcoming refactor).
Ed25519 private keys, it turns out, have 64 bytes, not 32.
We were previously generating only 32 bytes (which is all that is required to
generate the public key), and then using the public key as the upper 32 bytes
when generating the per-message session key. This meant that everything
appeared to work, but the security of the private key was severely compromised.
By way of fixes:
* Use the correct algorithm for generating the Ed25519 private key, and store
all 512 bits of it.
* Update the account pickle format and refuse to load the old format (since we
should consider it compromised).
* Bump the library version, and add a function to retrieve the library
version, so that applications can verify that they are linked against a
fixed version of the library.
* Remove the curve25519_{sign, verify} functions which were unused and of
dubious quality.
