AI Summary: Implement a new linter rule within the OCaml Crypto Linter to identify the use of weak RSA key sizes (less than 2048 bits) within Cryptokit library calls. This involves parsing the AST to detect Cryptokit's RSA functions, extracting key size information, and flagging instances with insufficient key lengths.
