The difference to a password manager is that this is kind of stateless. |

Implements a new feature,
password-agent, which allows to derive passwords and mnemonic passphrases from the hardware wallet.This can be useful to obtain high entropy passwords for things like file encryption.
The user provides a context string, e.g.
gmail, confirms a signature on the hardware wallet and (with default args) receives a mnemonic passphrase.Examples:
Currently it is only exposed for Trezor devices. I was testing with a Ledger Nano S as well, however it refused to sign my message, may investigate Ledger again if this gets merged.
