crypto-common: add KeyExport trait

Adds a companion trait to `KeyInit*` for exporting a key to a byte array
sized according to `KeySizeUser`.

This is needed when generating e.g. asymmetric secret keys types using
the `Generate` trait and it returns an actual key type (e.g.
`SigningKey`, `DecryptionKey`, `DecapsulationKey`) as opposed to its
serialized byte representation.
