The way I was outputting the pubkeys would be incorrect if the first byte of
one of the coordinates was 0, since it would print the first non-zero byte
first. The solution was to use the standard openssl function that outputs a
public key to oct.
BIP32 needs to be able to add two points on the secp256k1 curve. This
functionality was not already being exposed from OpenSSL in bitcore. I have
added an "addUncompressed" function to the Key class which takes in two points
in uncompressed form, adds them, and returns the result. This is necessary for
BIP32.
It's annoying and easy to forget to type in bitcore.KeyModule.Key. I have
updated this so that now you can just do bitcore.Key. Tests pass in node and
the browser. This is a backwards-incompatible change so all software that
depends on the old style key generation will need to be updated.
