Keep key gen messages with values encrypted to self. Remove TODO. 

Not only is the code easier this way, it also has the advantage that a
node that has crashed and is restarting can recompute its key share.

//! `SyncKeyGen::is_node_ready` can be used to check whether a particluar node's `Part` is
//! complete.
//!
//! Finally, observer nodes can also use `SyncKeyGen`. For observers, no `Part` and `Ack`
//! The `Part` and `Ack` messages alone contain all the information needed for anyone to compute
//! the public key set, and for anyone owning one of the participating secret keys to compute
//! their own secret key share. In particular:
//! * Observer nodes can also use `SyncKeyGen`. For observers, no `Part` and `Ack`
//! messages will be created and they do not need to send anything. On completion, they will only
//! receive the public key set, but no secret key share.
//! * If a participant crashed and lost its `SyncKeyGen` instance, but still has its original
//! key pair, and if the key generation messages were committed to some public ledger, it can
//! create a new `SyncKeyGen`, handle all the messages in order, and compute its secret key share.

//! ## Example
