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.
