Issue #, if available: resolves: #21 resolves: #47

Description of changes:

This change introduces definitions of the terms "key namespace", "key name", "provider ID", and "provider info", as well as how they relate to each other.

NOTE: I have not yet altered the keyring spec doc. That needs to happen before this merges.

Thinking this over again today, I've gone with "key name/namespace are always strings" and "provider ID/info are always bytes", and adjusted accordingly.
