change OFB iv to nonce to reflect dstufft nomenclature pitch

* Namely, we should try to call things IV if reuse leaks a small amount
  of data and nonce if reuse can result in a complete break. This can
  be somewhat ambiguous, but we'll track in #58

     OFB (Output Feedback) is a mode of operation for block ciphers. It
     transforms a block cipher into a stream cipher.
