An attempt to improve the documentation of how to set the attributes when creating a key, and how the implementation must use them.

In particular:

Removing the sloppy text relating to lifetimes and identifiers for key
Making it clearer when attributes are not required to be set. For example, the key size for key import, key agreement, pake etc.

Once these changes are agreed as an improvement, I will propagate the changes to the new key creation functions in #194 and #199
