Implement the Signal protocol #43

If we're really doubling down on the chat component, it'd be awesome to use a chat protocol where the server has no access to the messages being sent. The key used for encrypting messages could be (or be tied to) your Aptos account key (assuming that that's cryptographically sound).

This would solve the problems of server trust and encrypting messages at rest, see https://github.com/aptos-labs/hong-bao/issues/7.
