Sometimes dsa key json "size" property is only approximately 1024

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This key was generated with java, if you look at the public key portion it says 
"size": 1020

The size parameter in java is set with `yVal.bitLength()` I suspect that this 
is were the issue is.

While I think most implementations don't check the size property, it is 
possible, and conceivable that they would.

I'm not sure the correct fix for this, possibly more refactoring to the key 
generation so that the size used to generate the key is populated to the 
property.

Should have notice when i cut and paste the line issue that it was using Y 
instead of P.

Also i've verified this bug causes failures when the keysets are used from C++ 
and GO.
