crypto: add support for generating initialization vectors

There are a number of different algorithms that can be used
to generate initialization vectors for disk encryption. This
introduces a simple internal QCryptoBlockIV object to provide
a consistent internal API to the different algorithms. The
initially implemented algorithms are 'plain', 'plain64' and
'essiv', each matching the same named algorithm provided
by the Linux kernel dm-crypt driver.

# QCryptoIVGenAlgorithm:
#
# The supported algorithms for generating initialization
# vectors for full disk encryption. The 'plain' generator
# should not be used for disks with sector numbers larger
# than 2^32, except where compatibility with pre-existing
# Linux dm-crypt volumes is required.
#
# @plain: 64-bit sector number truncated to 32-bits
# @plain64: 64-bit sector number
# @essiv: 64-bit sector number encrypted with a hash of the encryption key
# Since: 2.6
