If an existing key or the new key is not intended to be stored in a file, the current implementation requires the creation of temporary files with all its odds (cleanup, symlink attack, mktemp) This change allows to provide the key in many different ways: A filename of "-" translates to <stdin> for reading and <stdout> for writing. If the file named by "filename" does not exist, check whether it contains a "-----BEGIN" and try interpreting the filename itself as key.
