net/tcp: Add TCP-AO sign to outgoing packets
Using precalculated traffic keys, sign TCP segments as prescribed by RFC5925. Per RFC, TCP header options are included in sign calculation: "The TCP header, by default including options, and where the TCP checksum and TCP-AO MAC fields are set to zero, all in network- byte order." (5.1.3) tcp_ao_hash_header() has exclude_options parameter to optionally exclude TCP header from hash calculation, as described in RFC5925 (9.1), this is needed for interaction with middleboxes that may change "some TCP options". This is wired up to AO key flags and setsockopt() later. Similarly to TCP-MD5 hash TCP segment fragments. From this moment a user can start sending TCP-AO signed segments with one of crypto ahash algorithms from supported by Linux kernel. It can have a user-specified MAC length, to either save TCP option header space or provide higher protection using a longer signature. The inbound segments are not yet verified, TCP-AO option is ignored and they are accepted.
