[1 XMR] Allow for cooperative release of funds

[thomaseizinger]

The protocol allows for Alice to punish Bob by taking the BTC in case Bob never refunds. This can happen unintentionally as well. See https://github.com/comit-network/xmr-btc-swap/issues/688 for example.

In that case, the two parties would have agreed to a cooperative release of funds. This should be possible to implement if we add:

• A command to the asb to print the Monero secret share
• A command to the cli to claim the Monero using the secret share

I'd propose that we add a libp2p protocol over which Bob can connect to Alice after Bob has been punished to request Alice to reveal the Monero secret share. Bob can then use that secret to redeem the XMR. This behaviour would be invoked by a custom attempt-cooperative-redeem command of the CLI.

There should be no reason for Alice not to release it if we assume she's good-willed. This will essentially resolve the entire issue of users getting punished in practice.

@delta1 What do you think?
