Add draft ZIP: Wallet-to-Wallet Messaging
Adds zips/draft-arya-wallet-to-wallet-messaging.md, a Standards / Wallet draft specifying an off-chain channel between wallets: a wallet that holds another wallet's Unified Address deposits an encrypted Envelope in a Mailbox over an anonymity network, and the recipient fetches it later. The second commit reworks the draft in response to review feedback: Nothing is added to the Unified Address. The Mailbox ID and the Mailbox Server are derived from the address's Orchard Receiver, so each diversified address has its own mailbox.

[ZIP 312] Specify key generation, change randomizer handling
Changes to randomizer handling after I realized that it couldn't possibly be generated using the message as an input. It does simplify things too. Some additional fixes (using "Re-Randomized FROST" consistently; updating Owners) fixes #1051 Update 2026-11-09. The branch is rebased onto main and force-pushed. The superseded zip-guide commit is dropped, since #1358 made the equivalent change; its one-word typo fix is kept as a separate commit. Seven commits sit on top of the previous head be04583: Three defects reported on the PR.
