AES key rollover

This is checked in now. I built a new command line tool / bean that will
maintain the keystore and key version files. When it runs, it adds a new
AES key, increments the key version property in a second file, and deletes
older keys over a certain number to save.

The DataSealer strategy class polls the version file and updates its
default key every so often, so something like a cron job + rsync should
allow the key to be changed daily without any hands on involvement.
