Added -Y option to vanitygen (-X already existed).

Added -X and -Y options to keyconv.

These options allow public and private key version numbers to be changed, useful for altcoins.

This allows setting the private key address type (version number),
independently of the public key address type.

This is useful to support more altcoins, because not all altcoins
follow the Bitcoin default (private is public plus 128).
These options are similar to corresponding options in vanitygen,
allowing the public and private key version byte numbers
to be changed.

Useful for altcoins, which use different numbers,
to give addresses that appear different from Bitcoin.
