Derive new key according to a provided path

Derives a new secret key at the BIP-32 path supplied by the caller and returns its P2PK address. The wallet must be unlocked. The path is relative to the wallet's root and uses standard BIP-32 notation (e.g. m/44'/429'/0'/0/1, with apostrophe denoting hardened indices). The derived key is stored by the wallet so subsequent calls to /wallet/addresses will include it.
