KEYS: Add a key type op to permit the key description to be vetted

Add a key type operation to permit the key type to vet the description of a new
key that key_alloc() is about to allocate.  The operation may reject the
description if it wishes with an error of its choosing.  If it does this, the
key will not be allocated.
