rsa: Do not allow less than 512 bit RSA keys
As per documentation, the RSA keys should not be smaller than 64bit (the documentation mentions something about a quirk in the prime generation algorithm). I am adding check into the code which used to be 16 for some reason. My primary motivation is to get rid of the last sentence in the documentation which suggest that typical keys have 1024 bits (instead updating it to the now default 2048). I *assume* that keys less than the 2048 bits (say 512) are used for education purposes. The 512 bits as the minimum have been suggested by Bernd Edlinger.
