Jason Rhinelander a9753ac80e Drop compute_message_hash
This is not currently used by anything in libsession-util or any of the
Session clients.

It also is (mildly) undesirable to have: Session clients should treat
the IDs as opaque so that future versions of Storage Server are able to
change the hashing algorithm without worrying about breaking clients.

(Such a change *has* happened in the past, when Storage Server dropped
timestamps from the hashes to make deduplication work effectively).

// Helper functions for the "Session Protocol" encryption mechanism. This is the encryption used
// for DMs sent from one Session user to another.
//
// Suppose Alice with Ed25519 keys `a`/`A` and derived x25519 keys `x`/`X`, wants to send a mesage
// `M` to Brandy with Ed25519 keys `b`/`B` and derived x25519 keys `y`/`Y` (note that the x25519
// pubkeys in hex form are session ids, but without the `05` prefix).
//
// First she signs the message, her own *Ed25519* (not X) pubkey, and the recipients pubkey (X, not
// Ed):
//
// SIG = Ed25519-sign(M || A || Y)
//
// Next a data message is composed of `M || A || SIG`, then encrypted for Brandy using:
//
// CIPHERTEXT = crypto_box_seal(M || A || SIG)
//
// (see libsodium for details, but is effectively generating an ephemeral X25519 keypair, making a
// shared secret of that and the recipient key, then encrypting using XSalsa20-Poly1305 from the
// shared secret).
//
// On the decryption side, we do this in reverse and verify via the signature both the sender and
// intended (inner) recipient. First, Brandy opens the ciphertext and extract the message, sender
// Ed pubkey, and signature:
//
// M || A || SIG = crypto_box_seal_open(CIPHERTEXT)
//
// then constructs and verifies the expected signature DATA (recall Y = Brandy's X25519 pubkey):
//
// Ed25519-verify(M || A || Y)
//
// Assuming this passes, we now know that `A` sent the message, and can convert this to a X25519
// pubkey to work out the Session ID:
//
// X = Ed25519-pubkey-to-curve25519(A)
//
// SENDER = '05' + hex(X)
//
// and thus Brandy now has decrypted, verified data sent by Alice.
