Small typo from bug 1037892. Also I think we should modify the condition to allow generating a key pair where only the public *or* the private key has any usages. This behavior isn't defined in the spec afaict, should it be added?

Blocking DH as this makes a few tests fail there.

I was referring to behavior of bailing out and making .generateKey() fail if there are no valid usages for any of the keys in the key pair.
