[noise] Using X25519 keypair obtained by Ed25519 conversion

I've just ported keys conversion functions from libsodium in C to WebAssembly (JavaScript) and it still converts to mentioned keypair. I hoped there was a mistake in ed2curve library, but since libsodium generates the same result there is something more.

Here are relevant functions from libsodium project: https://github.com/jedisct1/libsodium/blob/4705c0a06681d48ceec5ecbb66d496fd70c59bba/src/libsodium/crypto_sign/ed25519/ref10/keypair.c#L42-L78

Is Noise using some other form of X25519 keys incompatible with libsodium?
