Subject: [PATCH] Change --use_master_seed default: to False!

https://github.com/HelloZeroNet/ZeroNet/issues/2512

If anyone need to use a master_seed to generate private keys for sites in a range, than that person should use the config parameter --use_master_seed True.

By default all user should backup private keys instead of generating a few million key in a limited private key space between 0x1 and 0xFFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF FFFE BAAE DCE6 AF48 A03B BFD2 5E8C D036 4140.

While using a seed is good if any of the addresses get compromised from the range of generated private keys an attacker can compromise all and every site generated using that seed!

So, generate a new randomly-selected private key for each new address and let the user practice backing up private keys.
