Comment (by s7r):

 We have been asked on the mail list for an option to create ed25519 master
 id keys on demand with `--keygen` in a non-interactive way for management
 scripts or applications which interact with Tor. Currently, when calling
 `--keygen` we are asked for a passphrase (it's not mandatory, we can press
 enter and proceed with an unencrypted master id key but it cannot be done
 in a non-interactive way).

 nusenu suggested and me and teor think it's a good idea to also have a
 `--nopass` option to use with `--keygen`. When used Tor will just create
 an unencrypted master id key without asking for further input.
