Boot genesis block helper

Before this change, if you wanted to use a new Transaction
feature in the genesis block, you'd need to extend its
Creator object and associated methods.  With yesterday's
addtions to Transcation, it's now so easy to work with
Transactions directly that we can get rid of the middleman.

Also added a KeyPair type alias, so that ring could be easily swapped
out with a competing library, if needed.
