Support DCRDEX seed format and use it as default #3940

@jzbz

Description

@jzbz

DCRDEX has changed to a custom seed format that is considerably more user friendly than the one we are currently using (decred/dcrdex#2710). We should ideally harmonize all Decred software to be compatible and it may make sense to adopt this format as the default for Decrediton in addition to supporting restoring wallets that use this format.

Advantages:

  • Shorter.
  • BIP-39 word list is supported by all seed backup products.
  • Doesn't make use of the BIP-39 standard (only words).
  • Embedded birthday to make wallet restorations faster.
