Description
With https://github.com/libp2p/universal-connectivity/pull/91, we are continuously deploying the Rust peer to fly.io. That is great except that at the moment, the identity and the WebRTC certhashes change with every deployment.
We should change the code such that we can control these from a seed that we can specify in an environment variable.

Research direction
Review pull request #91 and the Rust peer's identity and WebRTC certificate setup, focusing on where filesystem-dependent values are created. Trace how an environment-variable seed could control those values. Done means repeated deployments with the same configured seed retain the same identity and WebRTC certhashes.
