Should we do it just by label? Or label + salt, to add randomness?

My understanding of the SKF abstraction is that the seed input is assumed of high entropy. Therefore, salt shouldn't be necessary (or at most, optional).

If it's not necessary, I'd rather not add an option if I can help it.

As for the implementation, I suppose I'll go the same way as secret_key_by_label() currently works, except deriving however many bytes SKF needs - is that secure enough?
