lib: Add per-message encryption with OpenSSL
This adds a per-message symmetric encryption using the OpenSSL
library. At flow allocation, an Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman exchange
is performed to derive a shared secret, which is then hashed using
SHA3-256 to be used as a key for symmetric AES-256 encryption. Each
message on an encrypted flow adds a small crypto header that includes
a random 128-bit Initialization Vector (IV). If the server does not
have OpenSSL enabled, the flow allocation will fail with an -ECRYPT
error.
Future optimizations are to piggyback the public keys on the flow
allocation message, and to enable per-flow encryption that maintains
the context of the encryption over multiple packets and doesn't
require sending IVs.
