KEYS: Asymmetric public-key algorithm crypto key subtype
Add a subtype for supporting asymmetric public-key encryption algorithms such as DSA (FIPS-186) and RSA (PKCS#1 / RFC1337). Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

+ This option provides support for asymmetric public key type handling.
+ If signature generation and/or verification are to be used,
+ appropriate hash algorithms (such as SHA-1) must be available.
+ ENOPKG will be reported if the requisite algorithm is unavailable.
