Description

For scenarios like key-rotation, I think it would be very useful to support a re-keying operation, where we decrypt the data key using one master key, and then re-encrypt with another master key. This also leverages the convenient envelope structure of the encrypted payload. I've noticed this is supported using the KMS Client (re-keying happens on the server side in that case), but feels like it should also exist in the SDK as well!

Thoughts?
