Tidy up requires/entrypoints/install docs
- Realized at this date that _moving_ Ed25519 deps behind an entrypoint is going the wrong direction, that key type should be used _more_ now, not _less_. I no longer even remember why folks were pissy about pynacl/bcrypt exactly. - We can in fact just use ed25519 from cryptography itself now, so no more pynacl anyways (but still bcrypt) - Twiddle install language a bit re: invoke used in more places, and again removing the notes about ed25519 being special

- If you want all optional dependencies at once, use ``paramiko[all]``.

- - As of Paramiko 2.x this doesn't technically do anything, as those

- - However, you should use this for forwards compatibility; 3.0 will drop
- those dependencies from core, leaving them purely optional.
