Description

### What is wrong?
- https://keybase.io/sign
- https://keybase.io/verify
- https://keybase.io/decrypt
- https://keybase.io/encrypt

It would be very nice to be able to specify values for the various form fields on these pages using query parameters.
### How could it be fixed?

When a user visits a url like `https://keybase.io/sign?msg=a-messag-to-sign` the page could auto-populate the form field with the message specified in the query parameter. This would make it easy to send a user to this page and have the desired message pre-populated into the textarea.
