This patch allows the user to choose the strength of the
passphrase mangling during the process in which the key is
produced from the passphrase. It only affects symmetric
encryption.
Unmodified code that calls openpgp.SymmetricallyEncrypt() will
continue to get the now-default count of 65536. Otherwise, a
count in the range [1024, 65011712] may be configured. Illegal
values in and outside this range will silently be rounded up
to legal values within the said range.
The test to s2k.Serialize() has been modified to test a
variety of non-default counts with all the valid hashes and
ensure that the decoding component of s2k can parse and
decrypt the result.
Additional testing has been done with GPG to ensure that the
latter can parse and decrypt files encrypted/encoded with
various counts.
