crypto: Support Chacha20-Poly1305 with a nonce size of 8 bytes.

Description

crypto: Support Chacha20-Poly1305 with a nonce size of 8 bytes.

This is useful for WireGuard which uses a nonce of 8 bytes rather
than the 12 bytes used for IPsec and TLS.

Note that this also fixes a (should be) harmless bug in ossl(4) where
the counter was incorrectly treated as a 64-bit counter instead of a
32-bit counter in terms of wrapping when using a 12 byte nonce.
However, this required a single message (TLS record) longer than 64 *
(2^32 - 1) bytes (about 256 GB) to trigger.
