Allow users to scan and sweep from a custom derivation path in Settings. #15

Derivation paths are often a pain point when switching between apps/wallets that break or don't adhere to the common standards. This feature would allow users to add their own derivation path to Moonshine via the Settings in order to access/restore funds from other wallets.

This will also help address issue #13.

While this feature can be helpful for users attempting to regain access to their funds from non-standard wallets, it can quite literally lead an unfamiliar user down the wrong path with no hope of recovery. With this in mind, it would be wise for the app to only allow users to sweep from the specified non-standard path to their standard wallet. For this reason, I'm renaming this issue to, "Allow users to scan and sweep from a custom derivation path in Settings."
