#187: Define algorithm names for symmetric keys in for JWK

Comment (by [email protected]):

 A JOSE working group decision was made early on to only support
 authenticated encryption algorithms.  Neither of AES CBC or AES CTR are
 authenticated encryption algorithms.

 There are registered algorithms for the composite AES-CBC-HMAC-SHA2
 algorithms, which do provide authenticated encryption, which could be used
 when applicable.

 That being said, it would be fine for non-JOSE specifications to define
 and register the values A{128,192,256}CTR and A{128,192,256}CBC.  For
 instance, a W3C WebCrypto specification could do this.  But I believe that
 JOSE specs defining these values is out of scope.

 Therefore, I believe that this issue should be closed as "wontfix".
