Comment (by s7r):

 Since `--master-key` and `--out` are meant to split in 2 the attributes of
 `--DataDirectory` and eliminate the requirement of of a "keys" subfolder,
 we should code it in a way that these cannot be used together, to avoid
 confusions.

 `--DataDirectory` will expect to find the master identity key in the given
 path under a "keys" subfolder under the filename
 "ed25519_master_id_secret_key" or "ed25519_master_id_secret_key_encrypted"
 and save all the output files in the same place.

 `--master-key` and `--out` will require a direct path to the master
 identity key that can have any filename and a direct path for saving the
 output files. Might as well treat `--master-key` and `--out` dependent on
 each other.
