Credentials
Credentials are used to to authenticate messages and members of a group are represented
by a Credential. Clients create a CredentialBundle which contains the private key material
and expose a Credential in the key packages they generate.
The MLS protocol spec allows credentials to change over time. Concretely, members can issue an Update proposal or a Full Commit to update their credential. The new credential still needs to be signed by the old credential.
When receiving a credential update from another member, applications must ensure the new credential is valid and need to query the Authentication Service for that matter.
Credentials are specific to a signature scheme, which is part of the ciphersuite of a group. Clients can have several credentials with different signature schemes.
Structs

This struct contains a credential and the corresponding private key.
