Sign arbitrary messages with Alby #413

Allow Alby users to sign arbitrary messages. Similar to lnurl auth when signing a challenge, but with anything the website likes to be signed.

According to Kollider it might make user data management much simpler and reduces liability from Lapp operator point of view.

Maybe should be part of the WebLN spec. But couldn't Alby serve as a testbed for WebLN feature requests?

we have this already: https://webln.dev/#/api/sign-message

most of the connectors should support that. but we need to build an interface for that: https://github.com/getAlby/lightning-browser-extension/issues/242 (right now we just sign anything)
