A new wallet for Sia.

`walletd` is a watch-only wallet server. It does not have access to any private
keys, only addresses derived from those keys. Its role is to watch the
blockchain for events relevant to particular addresses. The server therefore
knows which outputs are spendable by the wallet at any given time, and can
assist in constructing and broadcasting transactions spending those outputs.
However, *signing* transactions is the sole responsibility of the client.
`walletd` is the flagship Sia wallet, suitable for miners, exchanges, and
everyday hodlers. Its client-server architecture gives you the flexibility
to access your funds from anywhere, on any device, without compromising the
security of your private keys. The server is agnostic, so you can derive
those keys from a 12-word seed phrase, a legacy (`siad`) 28-word phrase, a
Ledger hardware wallet, or another preferred method. Like other Foundation
node software, `walletd` ships with a slick embedded UI, but developers can
easily build headless integrations leveraging its powerful JSON API. Whether
you're using a single address or millions, `walletd` scales to your needs.
