Changed key terms now to RsaSignatureVerificationKey2018, Ed25519SignatureVerificationKey2018, Secp256k1SignatureVerificationKey2018. Looks a bit long to me but clear and accurate. Everyone okay with that?

Looks a bit long to me but clear and accurate.

If a developer is using JSON-LD, they can compact to shorter names of their choosing. JSON-LD developers w/ standard tooling can compact to something like "Secp256k1Svk2018" if they want... or "BitcoinKey2018"... or whatever.

Granted, that doesn't help JSON developers, who will just have to live with the names we pick.

Fixes #52

LGTM. We may want to reduce to "RsaVerificationKey2018" per @mikelodder7's comments. If there is nothing that VerificationKey can be confused with, then we should shorten it.

Changed key terms now to shorter RsaVerificationKey2018, Ed25519VerificationKey2018, Secp256k1VerificationKey2018. Any more comments or should we merge?
