/**
   \class KeyStoreEntry qca_keystore.h QtCrypto
 
   Single entry in a KeyStore
 
   This is a container for any kind of object in a KeyStore
   (such as PGP keys, or X.509 certificates / private keys).
 
   KeyStoreEntry objects are obtained through KeyStore or loaded from a
   serialized string format.  The latter method requires a KeyStoreEntry
   obtained through KeyStore to be serialized for future loading.  For
   example:
 
   \code
QString str = someKeyStoreEntry.toString();
[ app saves str to disk ]
[ app quits ]
...
[ app launches ]
[ app reads str from disk ]
KeyStoreEntry entry(str);
printf("Entry name: [%s]\n", qPrintable(entry.name()));
   \endcode
 
   KeyStoreEntry objects may or may not be available.  An entry is
   unavailable if it has a private content that is not present.  The
   private content might exist on external hardware.  To determine if an
   entry is available, call isAvailable().  To ensure an entry is available
   before performing a private key operation, call ensureAvailable.  For
   example:
 
   \code
if(entry.ensureAvailable())
{
   entry.keyBundle().privateKey().signMessage(...);
   ...
}
   \endcode
 
   ensureAvailable() blocks and may cause hardware access, but
   if it completes successfully then you may use the entry's private
   content.  It also means, in the case of a Smart Card token, that
   it is probably inserted.
 
   To watch this entry asynchronously, you would do:
 
   \code
KeyStoreEntryWatcher *watcher = new KeyStoreEntryWatcher(entry);
connect(watcher, &KeyStoreEntryWatcher::available, this, &YourClass::entry_available);
...
void entry_available()
{
   // entry now available
   watcher->entry().keyBundle().privateKey().signMessage(...);
}
   \endcode
 
   Unlike private content, public content is always usable even if the
   entry is not available.  Serialized entry data contains all of the
   metadata necessary to reconstruct the public content.
 
   Now, even though an entry may be available, it does not
   mean you have access to use it for operations.  For
   example, even though a KeyBundle entry offered by a Smart Card
   may be available, as soon as you try to use the PrivateKey object
   for a signing operation, a PIN might be asked for.  You can call
   ensureAccess() if you want to synchronously provide the PIN
   early on:
 
   \code
if(entry.ensureAccess())
{
   // do private key stuff
   ...
}
   \endcode
 
   Note that you don't have to call ensureAvailable() before
   ensureAccess().  Calling the latter is enough to imply
   both.
 
   After an application is configured to use a particular key,
   it is expected that its usual running procedure will be:
 
   1) Construct KeyStoreEntry from the serialized data.
   2) If the content object is not available, wait for it
   (with either ensureAvailable() or KeyStoreEntryWatcher).
   3) Pass the content object(s) to a high level operation like TLS.
 
   In this case, any PIN prompting and private key operations
   would be caused/handled from the TLS object.  Omit step 2 and
   the private key operations might cause token prompting.
