quic: add crypto key derivation and installation
This adds net/quic/crypto.c with the QUIC key schedule: HKDF-Extract and
HKDF-Expand-Label helpers, Initial secret derivation, traffic secret
installation, key update, and stateless reset token derivation. The new
struct quic_crypto is embedded per encryption level in struct quic_sock and
freed from the new quic_sock_destruct().

[Severity: Medium]
Every entry of ciphers[] requests either hmac(sha256) or hmac(sha384), but
net/quic/Kconfig does not select a digest implementation:
select CRYPTO
select CRYPTO_HMAC
select CRYPTO_AES
select CRYPTO_GCM
select CRYPTO_CCM
select CRYPTO_CHACHA20POLY1305
select NET_UDP_TUNNEL
CRYPTO_HMAC is only the template (it selects CRYPTO_HASH and
CRYPTO_MANAGER), while CRYPTO_SHA256 and CRYPTO_SHA512 are independent
tristates without default y.
With IP_QUIC=y/m and CRYPTO_SHA256=n, does crypto_alloc_shash(cipher->shash,
0, 0) in quic_crypto_set_cipher() fail with -ENOENT, so that
quic_crypto_set_secret() and quic_crypto_initial_keys_install() can never
install keys and no connection can be established?
Should IP_QUIC also select CRYPTO_SHA256 and CRYPTO_SHA512 (the latter for
the hmac(sha384) entry)?

[Severity: Low]
This isn't a bug in the current series, since quic_do_setsockopt() still
returns -EOPNOTSUPP and the only in-tree producer,
quic_crypto_initial_keys_install(), sets srt.type = TLS_CIPHER_AES_GCM_128 on
both calls.
Still, srt->type is only consulted while crypto->cipher is NULL, and
srt->level and srt->reserved are never read at all. Once the setsockopt path
is wired up, would a second call carrying a different TLS_CIPHER_* value be
silently served with the already installed cipher, copying cipher->secretlen
bytes out of the caller's secret buffer instead of returning -EINVAL?
Would it make sense to reject srt->type disagreeing with crypto->cipher_type
here?
