Description

Currently, the tap address (produced by the receiver during the asset send process) is sub-optimally compressed. As an upside, parts of the address in its current format can be trivially interpreted for human readability.

We should add the necessary functionality to produce a compressed tap address.

This issue is incomplete. I will add further details before it can be included in a sprint.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. It says the tap address is produced by the receiver during the asset send process, so start there after the promised details are added. Done should mean optionally producing a compressed tap address while retaining the current format's human-readable portions.
