KEYS: Consolidate the concept of an 'index key' for key access
Consolidate the concept of an 'index key' for accessing keys. The index key
is the search term needed to find a key directly - basically the key type and
the key description. We can add to that the description length.
This will be useful when turning a keyring into an associative array rather
than just a pointer block.
