Extend support for TR31 key blocks with key usage P0 and mode of use B to AES PINPROT keys

About 5 years ago, I requested that you add support for mode of use B on key usage P0 key blocks, for IPINENC and OPINENC DES keys.  That request was implemented, controlled by ACPs, and we have been making use of it.  But that support was not extended to AES PINPROT keys.  As we work to migrate PIN processing from DES to AES, we ask that you please add the ability to import and export TR31 key blocks of AES PINPROT keys with mode of use B (ENCDEC).
