Optional BIP39 passphrase login #833

Without any modification of the user interface, allow users to log in with a BIP39 seed. AFAIK as I understand Electrum uses a subset of BIP39, i.e. a valid BIP39 phrase.

If CW fails to find a standard CW passphrase, check if it is BIP39.

The risk of mistaking a BIP39 phrase for a standard CW phrase is only 0.003%. More here: https://counterpartytalk.org/t/possibility-of-bip39-electrum-seed-in-counterwallet/3827

I don't think this should be a high priority, but if it's not too difficult to integrate, why not make it easier for users of BIP39 bitcoin wallets to use Counterparty?

Would love for Counterwallet to use BIP39. Not sure what the possibilities are here without doing some deeper research.
