This introduces a command that allows an admin to import signing keys as formatted by Synapse and Dendrite.
The existing keypair (generally created on first boot) is replaced.

This should make it easier to migrate to Continuwuity from either of those homeservers.

Fixes: #195

This is already a transitive dependency for the key related objects and operations within the project but an explicit dependency is required. I'm not sure what the preferred way of defining it would be so for now I've set it directly in the admin Cargo.toml, matching the major version of the transitive dependency.

Thank you for the contribution! We're already working on an improved initial setup flow internally, and signing key import will be a part of that, but we'll likely reuse the code from this PR in that change.
