Incorrect PEM output for EC key #326

Description

Issue body actions

I’m trying to generate an EC key and convert it to PEM format, but the output is not what I expected.

How to reproduce

Run this code:

require 'openssl'

key = OpenSSL::PKey::EC.generate("prime256v1")
puts key.to_pem

What happens

The output looks incorrect/truncated. Example:

-----BEGIN EC PRIVATE KEY-----
MCUCAQEEIL2oh0ec1uDeFFhc45+w3fngGxTTTSsTNOxVwYq3SQq8
-----END EC PRIVATE KEY-----

What I expected

I expected a longer key.

If I generate a key using OpenSSL on the command line, I get a much longer key.

Example of valid key:

-----BEGIN EC PRIVATE KEY-----
MHcCAQEEIN1SuMyzD5ImSlbdFflU6Ta7ksKVLJ4HPxl2nBgza9/QoAoGCCqGSM49
AwEHoUQDQgAEWySdTOUxUJdN4tINQnN1HPoPTFqi7WDbN23MXfTXffAYxMsgE3fC

-----END EC PRIVATE KEY-----
