Add public key exchange with QR codes, closes #9 #169

What

This issue demands a way to scan the QR code from another phone containing his/her public key

Why

This issue is needed for the project because it's easy and safe to scan a QR code to get somebody's public key

How

The feature is implemented by using the external app barcode scanner from google to scan qr codes. The qr scanner has it's own activity where it can decrypt/encrypt public keys.

Notes

At this time there isn't a unique public/private key being generated for the user, so the app generates a new pair each time the activity is started.
