Piotr Dyraga d892a58e4b Cleared up Paillier scheme API
The code for generating private key is based on approach described in [KL 08], construction 11.32 which is compatible with the one described in [DJN 10], section 3.2 except that instead of generating Lamda private key compontent from LCM of `p` and `q` we use Euler's totient function as suggested in [KL 08]. I cleared up naming as well as removed G and Mu parameters from Paillier key. For the modification of Paillier scheme we use, where g = n + 1, N is the only one parameter needed for a public key. Also, Mu is needed only for Decrypting and can be computed there from Lambda and N so there is no need to keep it in the private key.

I added documentation to <Key, Enc, Dec> functions with an important note that `p` and `q` supplied to `CreatePrivateKey` must be either of equal length or `gcd(pq, (p-1)(q-1)) = 1` which is assured if both primes are of equal length. This requirement is mentioned both in [KL 08] and [DJN 10].
