8 bytes issue . . .

[Kahil D. Jallad]

After looking at the code, I think this is actually a bug - build-packet
assumes that all ciphers have a blocksize of 8 for encrypted packets (both
with and without MDC), so it says the Symmetric Key Encrypted Packet is
(data_size + 10) bytes long regardless of the blocksize of the alorithm.
(I'm using the default, AES with blocksize 16.)

I'm not too good at writing C, or I'd propose a fix . . .I think the
PKT_encrypted struct needs to have algorithm info added.
(The problem comes from lines 533 and 554 of build_packet.c)

Encryption/Decryption still works, so I think this is only an issue
for OpenPGP compliance . . . also, I'm not using compression, which I
assume is rare . . .
