Description

## Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The `algokey` API requires passing a secret as plaintext in the terminal.

## Describe the solution you'd like.

If the keyfile string is not passed, `algokey` can securely prompt for a mnemonic, e.g. by using https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/term#ReadPassword.
