Create communication layer #19

Description

@tvolk131

We need multiple instances of the desktop app to be able to find each other communicate. We could have them find each other by IP addresses, but that would require port forwarding. We could host a central server that relays messages so that no port forwarding is required, but that would create a central point of failure. What likely makes the most sense is to have each instance of the app generate a Nostr public/private keypair and use Nostr DMs to communicate. This doesn't require port forwarding or a central server, and instead only requires that app instances share at least one Nostr relay.

We need to iron out the exact communication protocol - what messages need to be sent back and forth to establish a DLC. Then we need to implement this protocol using Nostr.
