Log Message: ----------- Add API to enumerate supported cipher modes and hash algorithms
Implements issue #478 by introducing two new API functions: - knet_get_crypto_cipher_list(): Returns AES cipher modes (CBC/CTR) supported across all crypto backends - knet_get_crypto_hash_list(): Returns hash algorithms supported across all crypto backends
The functions return the intersection of capabilities across OpenSSL, NSS, and libgcrypt backends, ensuring applications can reliably use any returned cipher/hash combination regardless of which crypto module is loaded at runtime.
Key implementation decisions: - Uses hardcoded lists to avoid loading all crypto modules unconditionally - Flattened cipher list includes both OpenSSL (hyphenated) and NSS/gcrypt (non-hyphenated) naming conventions as separate entries to simplify application logic - Cipher list: 12 entries covering AES-128/192/256 in CBC and CTR modes - Hash list: 5 entries covering md5, sha1, sha256, sha384, sha512 - Structure field sizes match knet_handle_crypto_cfg (16 bytes for name fields)
New structures: - knet_crypto_cipher_info: name[16], mode[8], key_bits - knet_crypto_hash_info: name[16], hash_bits
Includes comprehensive API tests that verify all returned cipher and hash names work correctly with all three crypto backends (NSS, OpenSSL, libgcrypt).
Fixed NSS parser to accept "-cbc" suffix variants (aes-128-cbc, aes-192-cbc, aes-256-cbc) in addition to existing non-hyphenated CBC names (aes128, aes192, aes256).
