Description
Right now we use PEM files to provide an identity for signing requests, but we'd also like to support NitroHSM (for node providers) and the Ledger Nano, and then possibly more. I propose to do this by splitting the core governance related code into a new, internal ink crate, and use the quill crate to define the CLI and its behavior, and then have multiple auth-* crates referenced by quill to do the actual work of working with the device to sign requests.

Research direction
Start by reading the existing PEM-based identity and signing flow in the quill crate, then trace which governance code would move into the proposed internal ink crate. Compare the boundaries needed for auth-* crates covering NitroHSM and Ledger Nano support. Done means the architecture and CLI behavior are defined clearly enough to support those methods and future authentication implementations.
