RE: Bug 24755 - Decide which AES-CFB shift sizes to support

Minimum change would be to change the JOSE algorithm names to add the size.
This is required in many ways based on how JOSE algorithm names are
specified.

Presently, the document describes only CFB-8.
 
If we wish to support other values of the shift size, s, we need to either
(a) add s as an additional parameter to AesCfbParams
(b) defined separate algorithm names, e.g. "AES-CFB-8", "AES-CFB-128" etc.
 
In offline discussion with Ryan we have a preference for (b).
 
Of course it is also an option to leave this as CFB-8 only.
