Add support for ancillary configuration files to unlock modules from STEP Bible

[DavidHaslam]

If you have STEP Bible installed on the same machine as Xiphos, then the specially licensed modules distributed by Tyndale STEP could be also opened with Xiphos. However, these modules are generally locked, with the unlock key stored separately from the mods.d folder.

Such an ancillary conf file is stored under the SWORD path in the .\step\jsword-mods.d folder.

The special conf file contents would be:

[modulename]
CipherKey=<theunlockkeyobtainedforthelockedmodule>
STEPLocked=true

Of course, it's feasible to manually open this file, copy the key, and enter it into the Xiphos dialog when prompted, yet it would be neat if this could be done behind the scenes if the unlock key has already come with the module from STEP Bible.

FYI. The lock key is also encrypted using a method that's not part of JSword. Cent from my fone so theer mite be tipos. ;)

It seems I may have stumbled upon one module that had been inadvertently distributed with a single unlock key rather than one that would only work with STEP Bible.

Am in touch with STEP developers.

I've not had any additional information.
