crypt: Remove libcrypt support
All the crypt related functions, cryptographic algorithms, and make requirements are removed, with only the exception of md5 implementation which is moved to locale folder since it is required by localedef for integrity protection (libc's locale-reading code does not check these, but localedef does generate them). Besides thec code itself, both internal documentation and the manual is also adjusted. This allows to remove both --enable-crypt and --enable-nss-crypt configure options. Checked with a build for all affected ABIs. Co-authored-by: Zack Weinberg <zack@owlfolio.org> Reviewed-by: Carlos O'Donell <carlos@redhat.com>
