Encode the provided entropy in an English BIP39 mnemonic phrase.
Reverses decodeBip39Mnemonic.
Even for localized applications, English is the safest choice for BIP39
mnemonic phrase encoding. English mnemonic phrases are the most widely used
and supported by ecosystem tooling, meaning they can be more reliably error
corrected than phrases using other word lists, and they are more likely to be
recognized as valuable by humans and generalized automation, e.g.
organizational secret scanning and anti-exfiltration software. Note also that
specialized exfiltration efforts are unlikely to be thwarted by obscuring
mnemonic phrases with localized or custom word lists; instead, consider using
a passphrase during seed derivation.
If the provided entropy is a valid length, this method will never error.
