requires a new kty.

As Ilari mentioned repeatedly, I think it is a big problem that we have to
bear the cost of both making a spec and making implementation changes
whenever making  a new KEM usable in COSE.
These costs can be easily avoided by defining the key type HPKE-KEM, so I
see no reason to oppose it from my perspective.
