Streamline runtime upgrade of cryptography

Upcrypto allows for changing of encryption keys or encryption methods without affecting historical data and with the ability to upgrade encrypted data over time.

Example
-------

[](#example)

```
$versions = [
    '2017.01.31' => [
        'crypto_adapter' => '\Lstr\Upcrypto\CryptoAdapter\DefuseAdapter',
        'crypto_key' => 'def000007abb9fab43861eb5a2579460cfcbec7774ecb84bf7ddd3379ebdcf52b6c2'
            . '2955049147eac6aa93ebfa6d2452650b222b1def408fe9c58ea527544a41602fe44f',
    ],
    '2017.05.19' => [
        'crypto_adapter' => '\Lstr\Upcrypto\CryptoAdapter\DefuseAdapter',
        'crypto_key' => 'def00000d988a0280b5580151c2f207934b6abcd5e59e2cab81c11214f6e2e84c1a8'
            . '1627fb3e9634ae1c36d3958ca2491fb95a1337a897338030e77662b38a7cf7fc9dcd',
    ],
];

$original_version_loader = new ArrayCryptoVersionLoader([
    '2017.01.31' => $versions['2017.01.31']
]);
$original_upcrypto = new Upcrypto($original_version_loader);
$loaded_value = $original_upcrypto->encrypt('tada');
// pretend the encrypted $loaded_value is actually stored in a database
// and we just read the encrypted value from the database into $loaded_value

$version_loader = new ArrayCryptoVersionLoader([
    '2017.01.31' => $versions['2017.01.31'],
    '2017.05.19' => $versions['2017.05.19'],
]);
$upcrypto = new Upcrypto($version_loader);

// if you just want to decrypt the value
$original_decrypted = $upcrypto->decrypt($loaded_value);

// if we want to check if the encryption is our most current
// method of encryption
if (!$upcrypto->isUpToDate($loaded_value)) {
    // if it is not, we can upgrade it to the latest methodology
    $upgraded_encrypted_value = $upcrypto->upgradeEncryption($loaded_value);
    // now you can save the data back to the database

    // the upgraded version still decrypts to the propery value
    $newly_decrypted = $upcrypto->decrypt($upgraded_encrypted_value);
}
```
