[xmlsec] creating a ds:KeyInfo object

[Aleksey Sanin]

Oh, I see what are you tryng to do. OK, this is simple.
xmlSecKeyInfoNodeWrite() writes key data into KeyInfo
node according to the template in the KeyInfo node.
For example, if you want to write only key name,
you create template like this:
	<KeyInfo>
		<KeyName/>
	</>

If you want to write key name and certificate info,
you create template like this:
	<KeyInfo>
		<KeyName/>
		<X509Data/>
	</>

and so on. From the code in your prev message, it seems
that your KeyInfo template is an empty KeyInfo node. Thus
the output is also an empty KeyInfo node.

And you got this assert in xmlSecKeyDebugXmlDump function
because the key structure you have is not valid. It does not
have the key value itself.
