Make Earthstar select the best crypto driver for the detected platform #268

Closed sgwilym closed 1 year ago

sgwilym commented 1 year ago

Earthstar should automatically select the most performant crypto driver for the platform it's running on.

Deno: CryptoDriverSodium
Browser: CryptoDriverNoble
Node: CryptoDriverChloride

We'll probably need to have two versions of src/crypto/global-crypto-driver.ts, one for Deno and one for the NPM distribution (we can't detect at runtime as the different drivers just being imported will cause either runtime to crash).

In the end this only applies to Deno, as Chloride was not a good default for the NPM browser distribution.
