This adds an advisory lock when creating a new keypair to prevent creating multiple keypairs for the same validity period. References #10

Hmm, Isn't this a bit overkill? How does this relate with the pessimistic locking like https://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Locking/Pessimistic.html

I agree with you that a solution like pessimistic or optimistic locking would be easier. However, we don't always have a clear idea which record to use for locking. For example, when we don't have any keypairs yet we don't have any records which we can lock. It's also not clear on which record we should lock, especially when there are multiple keypairs for the same time period, as there would be when migrating from a previous version of the gem.
