The --unarmored-hex and --unsafe flags are added to
the keys export command. Users must use both to
export private keys material. The output would be in
hexadecimal format and unarmored.
See #8042 for scope and motivations.
introduce new UnsafeKeyring interface.
Unsafe operations are supported by UnsafeKeyring types.
By doing so, we try to make the client developer aware
of the risks.

crypto/keyring:
`Keybase` interface gives way to its successor: `Keyring`. `LegacyKeybase`
interface is added in order to guarantee limited backward compatibility with
the old `Keybase` interface for the sole purpose of migrating keys across
the new keyring backends.
The package no longer depends on the `github.com/types.Config`
singleton.
`SupportedAlgos` and `SupportedLedgerAlgos` methods have been removed.
The keyring just fails when trying to perform an action with an unsupported
algorithm.
crypto/ subdirs reorganization:
`crypto/keys/hd` was moved to `crypto/hd`, which now groups together
all HD wallets related types and utilities.
client/input:
* Removal of unnecessary `GetCheckPassword`, `PrintPrefixed` functions.
* `GetConfirmation`'s signature changed to take in a io.Writer for better integration
with `cobra.Command` types.
client/context:
* In-memory keyring is allocated in the context when `--gen-only` flag is passed
in. `GetFromFields` does no longer silently allocate a keyring, it takes one as
argument.

Client commands accept a new `--keyring-backend` option through which users can specify which backend should be used by the new key store:
- os: use OS default credentials storage (default).
- file: use encrypted file-based store.
- test: use password-less key store (highly insecure).
* Switch keys commands to keyring
* Replace NewKeybase with NewKeyring
* Fix delete test
* Purge dead code
* Override COSMOS_SDK_TEST_KEYRING envvar to switch to a test keyring

* Add deprecated warning, output looks like the following:
```
$ gaiacli keys update --help
Command "update" is deprecated, it takes no effect with the new keyring
based backend and is provided only for backward compatibility with the
legacy LevelDB based backend.
Refer to your operating system's manual to learn how to change your
keyring's password.
Change the password used to protect private key
Usage:
gaiacli keys update <name> [flags]
Flags:
-h, --help help for update
Global Flags:
--chain-id string Chain ID of tendermint node
-e, --encoding string Binary encoding (hex|b64|btc) (default "hex")
--home string directory for config and data (default "/home/alessio/.gaiacli")
-o, --output string Output format (text|json) (default "text")
--trace print out full stack trace on errors
```
* Update multisign command
* Modify server.GenerateSaveCoinKey()
* GenerateSaveCoinKey more modifications
* Update docs
* Update upgrade module
Add Keybase's ExportPrivKey()/ImportPrivKey() API calls to export/import
ASCII-armored private keys. Relevant keys subcommands are provided as well.
