Remove overlapping slots from AbstractKey subclasses
`PublicKey` and `PrivateKey` both define the `n` and `e` slots, which are already present in their base class. This reduces the benefits of having slots. ```shell $ slotscheck -m rsa -v ERROR: 'rsa.key:PrivateKey' defines overlapping slots. - e (rsa.key:AbstractKey) - n (rsa.key:AbstractKey) ERROR: 'rsa.key:PublicKey' defines overlapping slots. - e (rsa.key:AbstractKey) - n (rsa.key:AbstractKey) ``` The Python docs say: > If a class defines a slot also defined in a base class, the instance > variable defined by the base class slot is inaccessible (except by > retrieving its descriptor directly from the base class). This renders > the meaning of the program undefined.
