[Task] Implement Basic Agent

[JelleMillenaar]

Description

Implement a basic agent for the IOTA Identity framework for performing operations related to a stronghold, such as key creation and signing. The agent should be able to set up secure communication via the Stronghold P2P Communications crate. Lastly, it should allow developers to overwrite the agent or insert pre and post hooks to the default logic.

Motivation

Agents are a common idea in the SSI world. It allows different Identity-enabled entities to identify each other and speak in a common language to build trust and exchange trusted information. In addition, it allows a single entity to out-source its operations to another location (web -> desktop or x -> server), which may be more secure. This way we enable secure identity usage in unsecure environment such as the web.
