The descriptor command treated descriptor key expressions returned by
key derive as raw extended keys. As a result, users received a confusing
Base58 parsing error when passing the output from key derive to
descriptor.

This change detects descriptor key expressions before raw key parsing and
returns a clear error explaining the accepted input format and where full
descriptors can be used.

Fixes #303
