 * @class AbstractKeyManager
 * @brief Base class for KeyManager implementations.
 *
 * The AbstractKeyManager is the base class for implementing signond key
 * managers. A key manager is an object which signond uses to get the keys
 * needed to access the encrypted storage. It emits signals whenever new keys
 * exist, when keys are disabled or removed. For example, a simple password
 * based key manager would:
 * @li query the user for the password when queryKeys() is called.
 * @li emit keyInserted() whenever the user enters the password.
 * @li if the password automatically expires after some time, emit keyDisabled
 * @li if the user changes the password, emit keyInserted() with the new
 * passord, and keyRemoved() for the old one.
