Lukas Puehringer ff8819577b Adopt sslib keygen interface encryption changes
secure-systems-lab/securesystemslib#288 changes the key generation
interface functions in such a way that it is clear if a call opens
a blocking prompt, or writes the key unencrypted. To do this two
functions are added per key type:
 - `generate_and_write_*_keypair_with_prompt`
 - `generate_and_write_unencrypted_*_keypair`

The default `generate_and_write_*_keypair` function now only allows
encrypted keys and only using a passed password. This respects the
principle of secure defaults and least surprise.

sslib#288 furthermore adds a protected
`_generate_and_write_*_keypair`, which is not exposed publicly
because it does not encrypt by default, but is more flexible and
thus convenient e.g. to consume all arguments from a key generation
command line tool such as 'repo.py'.

This commit adds the new public functions to the tuf namespace and
adopts their usage accordingly.

NOTE regarding repo.py:
This commit does not fix any problematic password behavior of
'repo.py' like default passwords, etc. (see #881). It only adopts
the sslib#288 changes to maintain the current behvior, plus
removing one glaringly obsolete password prompt.

NOTE regarding key import:
The securesystemslib private key import functions were also changed
to no longer auto-prompt for decryption passwords , TUF, however,
only exposes custom wrappers (see repository_lib) that do
auto-prompt. sslib#288 changes to the prompt texts are nevertheless
propagated to tuf and reflected in this commit.
