Description
Would it be possible to make the largeSafePrime param [here](https://github.com/LinusU/secure-remote-password/blob/master/lib/params.js) updatable in cases where people want to use their own custom key generated by something like OpenSSL. I'd imagine the quickest fix would be making that `const` a `let` and making the `input` be exportable but thought I would bring this up.

Research direction
Start in lib/params.js, where largeSafePrime and input are identified in the issue. Trace how these values are consumed and exposed, then define the smallest caller-facing change that permits a custom OpenSSL-generated key. Done means users can provide that custom value without breaking the existing default behavior.
