Re: [Cfrg] I-D Action: draft-mcgrew-hash-sigs-14.txt

In this update, I addressed Philip LaFrance's comments.  I also modified the definition of the HSS private key to include the public pub[] and sig[] arrays; those are kept around with the private key, and makes it easier to understand (even if they don't need to be kept secret)
