Use the nettle_cipher abstraction only for block ciphers (in

Consider making a public interface similar to nettle_aead? With
the above change, it can't use nettle_crypt_func.

Reorganize private key operations. Need to support RSA with and
without blinding, and DSA occording to spec and some deterministic
variant (putty), and possibly also smartcard versions where the
private key is not available to the library. And without an
