Stealth addresses will attach at purpose `5564'`, at the profile level. Only
purpose `44'` is used here.
The plan is one meta address per profile: a spend key and a viewing key, whose
public halves are published with the chat profile, opt-in. A sender derives a
fresh destination from it without a handshake, so one meta address serves any
number of names received that way, and those keys are not at a derivation path.
That is why it belongs at the profile level, while the names a profile buys sit
at the address level.
