Basic interface for wrapping a primitive.
A PrimitiveSet can be wrapped by a single primitive in order to fulfil a cryptographic task. This is done by the PrimitiveWrapper. Whenever a new primitive type is added to Tink, the user should define a new PrimitiveWrapper and register it by calling com.google.crypto.tink.Registry#registerPrimitiveWrapper
