Based on #588.
Adding anti nonce-sidechannel functionality was a request in the schnorrsig module PR. The use case is to prevent a signing device from exfiltrating the secret signing keys through biased signature nonces, for example after a bad firmware update. It uses sign-to-contract commitments to host supplied randomness which forces the signer to randomize the nonce.
In order to add more sign-to-contract commitments the host can create a merkle tree of data to be committed and randomness and send that to the signing device as "host randomness".
