Preliminary support for ECDSA and EC key parameter generation. At the

moment, the only kind of parameters we know how to generate are for EC
on the P-256 curve, but the key generation code should accept any
parameters that the OpenSSL command line tool's genpkey command can
generate (and is not limited to ECDSA -- DSA and DH should work, most
likely ECDH as well).

Adding capability of generating parameters for other well-known EC
curves would just mean exposing additional NID values, so we could
easily support any curve OpenSSL knows about.  Adding parameter
generation for DH etc would be maybe a dozen additional lines of C
code per algorithm, as all of these use the same internal EVP_PKEY
interface with minor variations.
