The mnemonic command: child mnemonics (closes #4)
keyfunc mnemonic derives a 12, 18 or 24 word child mnemonic through BIP-85's own mnemonic application, with the specification's test vectors as tests. One review round, passed with no findings; the reviewer reproduced the vectors from an implementation written from the specification alone.
