Add CLI startup option to only generate keys

[abitmore]

User Story
As a user I want to generate public/private key pairs without connecting to a node.

I think an easy approach is to add an option to cli_wallet, just like --version.

Agreed. I often use the suggest_brain_key API of the cli_wallet to generate a new signing key pair. It would be helpful to call a command line app with this parameter to achieve the same result on an offline workstation.

I'm just working on cli_wallet related stuff these days, may I take this issue? @ryanRfox

[ryanRfox]

Yes, thank you @cifer-lee for claiming this Issue. I will move it to the Community Claims board for your development.

PR #1039 handled the code portion. Documentation of this new feature still needs to be completed.

Sorry i found nowhere to add document for command line option, not the description at option line? https://github.com/cifer-lee/bitshares-core/blob/4a2f333444b5d9a0cd13c78a16393594e9db1e6d/programs/cli_wallet/main.cpp#L89

Or did you mean the docs/ submodule?

[jmjatlanta]

Very good question. Perhaps @ryanRfox can help. Ryan, where are the cli_wallet command line switches documented?

[ryanRfox]

Sorry guys I'm not familiar enough to provide a definitive answer to where all it should documented at this time.

At minimum, when calling cli_wallet --help and returning the helpful note already placed within main.cpp. Thank you.

@cedar-book May I request you guide us to a good location(s) within the new developer documentation to note this new feature?

@ryanRfox, I was just thinking about this (this kind of situation). As our starting point, I created a folder named documented_issues in a knowledge_base folder. How about we add the information in the folder? Because, probably, most time, like this moment we remember more what we had done and which information want to leave as the documentation.
And added am example page file for this. https://github.com/bitshares/dev.bitshares.works/blob/master/core/kowledge_base/documented_issues Let me know how you think.

fixed by #1039

[cedar-book]

Right now, (I do not want to forget, neither. ) Created new section to collect these Documented issues information. For this issue, https://github.com/bitshares/dev.bitshares.works/blob/master/core/kowledge_base/documented_issues/1011_add_cli_startup.md
