Make Stream_Cipher::set_iv() pure virtual

It provided a default implementation that only checked
that the length was correct, but ignored the actual data
and did not notify the caller, which seemed like a
rather odd behaviour.

The only implementation that used this default implementation,
RC4, now throws an exception.
