In Go >= 1.19 the algorithm was changed as well as explicit randomization was added. While we could mitigate the explicit randomization with maybeNotReader, the algorithm itself breaks backwards compatibility. Import the old algorithm into gokey instead.
This test was added to more easily track, when stdlib crypto/rsa algorithm changes. This now happened in Go >= 1.19 (due to changes in the math/big prime generation algorithm) and the test is correctly failing. Remove the test, so it does not confuse contributors anymore.
