Support for differentiating between signing and viewing keys #91

At present, the Cycles FE differentiates between the signing (Keplr) and viewing keys (ephemeral key generated in-browser).

Quartz does not yet support this differentiation.

This is necessary as part of Cycles Demo 2 to support reading encrypted set-offs back from the chain.

So would users of quartz apps always have an encryption key, and an account key? That would have a lot of implications for UX. We could add an encryption key in another PR, and it wouldn't be too bad. But the overall design for UX I think should be considered deeply before we really write some serious code to support both keys.
