Dmitry Kasatkin b3426827c8 KEYS: make partial key id matching as a dedicated function
To avoid code duplication this patch refactors asymmetric_key_match(),
making partial ID string match a separate function.

This patch also implicitly fixes a bug in the code.  asymmetric_key_match()
allows to match the key by its subtype. But subtype matching could be
undone if asymmetric_key_id(key) would return NULL. This patch first
checks for matching spec and then for its value.

David Howells 964f3b3bf4 KEYS: Implement asymmetric key type
Create a key type that can be used to represent an asymmetric key type for use
in appropriate cryptographic operations, such as encryption, decryption,
signature generation and signature verification.

The key type is "asymmetric" and can provide access to a variety of
cryptographic algorithms.

Possibly, this would be better as "public_key" - but that has the disadvantage
that "public key" is an overloaded term.
