Function silc_ske_alloc SYNOPSIS
        SilcSKE silc_ske_alloc(SilcRng rng, SilcSchedule schedule,
                               SilcSKR repository, SilcPublicKey public_key,
                               SilcPrivateKey private_key, void *context);
DESCRIPTION
        Allocates the SKE session context and returns it.  The `rng' is
        the random number generator the SKE is going to use when it needs
        random number generation during the SKE session.  The `context' is
        user context that the libary will not touch.  Application can get the
        context by calling the fuction silc_ske_get_context function.  The
        application is responsible of freeing the `context'.  After the
        SKE session context is allocated application must call the
        silc_ske_set_callbacks.

        If the `repository' is non-NULL then the remote's public key will be
        verified from the repository.  If it is not provided then the
        SilcSKEVerifyCb callback must be set, and it will be called to
        verify the key.  If both `repository' and the callback is provided the
        callback is called only if the key is not found from the repository.

        The `public_key' and `private_key' is the caller's identity used
        during the key exchange.  Giving `private_key' is optional if the
        SILC_SKE_SP_FLAG_MUTUAL is not set and you are initiator.  For
        responder both `public_key' and `private_key' must be set.

        When allocating SKE session for rekey, the `repository' and `private_key'
        pointers must be NULL and the SilcSKEVerifyCb callback must not be
        set with silc_ske_set_callbacks.

     EXMPALE

        // Initiator example
        params.version = version;
        params.flags = SILC_SKE_SP_FLAG_PFS | SILC_SKE_SP_FLAG_MUTUAL;
        ske = silc_ske_alloc(rng, scheduler, NULL, pk, prv, app);
        silc_ske_set_callbacks(ske, verify_public_key, completion, app);
        silc_ske_initiator(ske, stream, &params, NULL);
