[CRYPTO] api: Add cryptomgr
The cryptomgr module is a simple manager of crypto algorithm instances.
It ensures that parameterised algorithms of the type tmpl(alg) (e.g.,
cbc(aes)) are always created.
This is meant to satisfy the needs for most users. For more complex
cases such as deeper combinations or multiple parameters, a netlink
module will be created which allows arbitrary expressions to be parsed
in user-space.
