Implement negate that consumes self

The method `negate_assign` (on pub/sec key) is cumbersome to use because
a local variable that uses these methods changes meaning but keeps the
same identifier. It would be more useful if we had methods that consumed
`self` and returned a new key.

Add method `negate` that consumes self and returns the negated key.
Deprecated the `negate_assign` methods.
