06a14fe8b8 Reorganise ssh_keyalg and use it as a vtable.
After Pavel Kryukov pointed out that I have to put _something_ in the
'ssh_key' structure, I thought of an actually useful thing to put
there: why not make it store a pointer to the ssh_keyalg structure?
Then ssh_key becomes a classoid - or perhaps 'traitoid' is a closer
analogy - in the same style as Socket and Plug. And just like Socket
and Plug, I've also arranged a system of wrapper macros that avoid the
need to mention the 'object' whose method you're invoking twice at
each call site.

The new vtable pointer directly replaces an existing field of struct
ec_key (which was usable by several different ssh_keyalgs, so it
already had to store a pointer to the currently active one), and also
replaces the 'alg' field of the ssh2_userkey structure that wraps up a
cryptographic key with its comment field.

I've also taken the opportunity to clean things up a bit in general:
most of the methods now have new and clearer names (e.g. you'd never
know that 'newkey' made a public-only key while 'createkey' made a
public+private key pair unless you went and looked it up, but now
they're called 'new_pub' and 'new_priv' you might be in with a
chance), and I've completely removed the openssh_private_npieces field
after realising that it was duplicating information that is actually
_more_ conveniently obtained by calling the new_priv_openssh method
(formerly openssh_createkey) and throwing away the result.

9604c2b367 Generate keys more carefully, so that when the user asks for an n-bit
key they always get an n-bit number instead of n-1. The latter was
perfectly harmless but kept confusing users.
