After internal design review, we decided to remove exposing algorithm
choice to the end-user for the initial release. We'll solve nonce
rotation by forcing rotations automatically on key GC (in a core job,
not included in this changeset). Default to AES-256 GCM for the
following criteria:

* faster implementation when hardware acceleration is available
* FIPS compliant
* implementation in pure go
* post-quantum resistance

Also fixed a bug in the decoding from keystore and switched to a 
harder-to-misuse encoding method.
