Initial commit: SecPaste encrypted pastebin client

SecPaste is a Python library and CLI tool for sharing encrypted content via
public pastebin services with zero-knowledge architecture.

Features:
- Pluggable crypto backends (AES-256-GCM, ChaCha20-Poly1305, Kyber-768)
- Pluggable pastebin providers (dpaste.com, extensible)
- URL fragment key storage (key never sent to server)
- Both CLI and library usage
- Post-quantum cryptography support (experimental)
