Summary

Extend struct enc_xform to add new members to handle auth operations
for AEAD ciphers. In particular, AEAD operations in cryptosoft no
longer use a struct auth_hash. Instead, the setkey and reinit methods
of struct enc_xform are responsible for initializing both the cipher
and auth state.

So this was a bug (I forgot to change this to aes_ccm_setkey) that the compiler warned about (unused function).

I had used '-d soft' instead of '-d cryptosoft0' when testing and device aesni in GENERIC meant I was testing aesni originally.

When I retested in a VM to make sure this broke, I actually killed bhyve as the uninitialized AES_CBC_MAC state caused a wild pointer passed to a xor instruction to trigger an EPT page fault (maybe it was to an MMIO region?) and bhyve died with an abort trap. Fun times.
