This constructor is eventually used by PEMEncoder for KeyPair. Yes if the
private key encoding did have a public key already it would be overwritten;
however, the API usage is to combine the given KeyPair into PEM text. The
expected usage is after generating a KeyPair.
As far as preventing an overwrite, while it can probably be done, I don't see
the value in adding a check at this point.
