Description
Support BIP39 for generating private keys. For ECDSA, BIP39 should be the only method available for seeding.

The current keyPairFromSeed method should be removed. Create a new class Bip39ECDSA, specifically for seeding.
To test if the implementation is correct
- Generate a new account using MetaMask (or another Ethereum wallet that uses BEP39)
- Get the 12 (or 24) word seed
- Use the seed to generate an ECDSA keypair using Seasalt
- Convert the public key into an ethereum address. See docs.
You get a public address for your account by taking the last 20 bytes of the Keccak-256 hash of the public key and adding 0x to the beginning.
- The address should be the same address as shown in MetaMask
