Description

https://github.com/microsoft/cask/pull/43 removed the "CASK key kind" concept from the specification, but public enum CaskKeyKind still exists in the source code. It is not referenced by any other source files. Please remove or obsolete it, for clarity.

According to the XML documentation comment, the CaskKeyKind values are not intended for use in the <provider-kind> field. Moreover, they would not be easy to use there, as the Cask.GenerateKey method takes a char providerKeyKind parameter rather than a CaskKeyKind.
