Increase the iteration count and salt size used for encrypted
private keys. For the older PBES1, we can only increase the iteration count (from 2048 to 10000); the salt is fixed by the standard to 64 bits. This is probably OK, since PBES1 is also limited to (at best) 64-bit encryption keys and thus is pretty unsafe anyway. For PBES2, increase the iteration count (also 2048 to 10000) and increase the size of the salt from 64 bits to 96 bits. This will only affect keys which are encrypted by a version after this revision.
