Pull keyring updates from David Howells:
- Fix a documentation warning.
- Replace a zero-length array with a flexible one
- Make the big_key key type use ChaCha20Poly1305 and use the crypto
algorithm directly rather than going through the crypto layer.
- Implement the update op for the big_key type.
