(Go) JWE using AES Key Wrap and AES_128_CBC_HMAC_SHA_256

This example duplicates the example A.3 in RFC 7516 for JSON Web Encryption (JWE).

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.66 or greater.

    // This requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    // The example A.3 in RFC 7516 uses the following 128-bit AES key,

    //       "k":"GawgguFyGrWKav7AX4VKUg"

    // This is just a way of saying: The key type ("kty") is 
    // a bunch of octets ("k") in base64url encoding.
    // We can simply set the AES wrapping key like this:
    aesWrappingKey := "GawgguFyGrWKav7AX4VKUg"
