Remove keysize requirements / recommendations

This library is probably not the right place to recommend key sizes
or have discussions about the relation between key sizes and hash
function outputs.

-Key size requirements
----------------------
-
-Python-RSA version 3.0 introduced PKCS#1-style random padding. This
-means that 11 bytes (88 bits) of your key are no longer usable for
-encryption, so keys smaller than this are unusable. The larger the
-key, the higher the security.
-
-Creating signatures also requires a key of a certain size, depending
-on the used hash method:
