@The-Bootloader

Description

@The-Bootloader

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The legacy vanitygen software can generate encrypted keys called Protkey and starting with Ps.
https://github.com/samr7/vanitygen

Describe the solution you'd like
Ability to put the corresponding Address and Protkey into a file, and let btcrecover.py decrypt it

Describe alternatives you've considered
There is no other option. vanitygen no longer compiles on modern OpenSSL versions.
