macsec: introduce IEEE 802.1AE driver

This is an implementation of MACsec/IEEE 802.1AE. This driver provides authentication and encryption of traffic in a LAN, typically with GCM-AES-128, and optional replay protection. http://standards.ieee.org/getieee802/download/802.1AE-2006.pdf Signed-off-by: Sabrina Dubroca <sd@queasysnail.net> Reviewed-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa <hannes@stressinduktion.org> Signed-off-by: David S.
