New commands for signups, rough draft

town-signup

this binary is run by OpenSSH when a user anywhere in the world runs ssh join@tilde.town. It should:

• collect information about an application from a user
• allow them to edit their responses before submitting
• write a yaml file of their responses to disk

review-signups

this binary is run by town admins in order to review, approve, notate, and reject applications. It should:

• iterate over signups
• allow fuzzy finding a particular signup
• allow approval using create-user
• allow rejection
  • just move signup to archived rejected signup directory
• allow notating an application, ie:
  • lock the yaml file for writing
  • add notes to the yaml file that can be seen by other admins
• print info about historical signups

create-user

this binary is called by review-signups to take a yaml application and create a user on disk. It should:

• create the user idempotently
  • adduser
  • usermod to set group
  • calling add-key for user
• move the yaml file to an archive directory of approved signups

user-key

this binary helps manage keys for users; basically automating the listing, adding, and removing of public keys for a user.

• user-key add <username> <keyfile
• user-key list <username>
• user-key remove <username>
