block: remove support for cryptoloop and the xor transfer
Support for cyrptoloop has been officially marked broken and deprecated in favor of dm-crypt (which supports the same broken algorithms if needed) in Linux 2.6.4 (released in March 2004), and support for it has been entirely removed from losetup in util-linux 2.23 (released in April 2013). The XOR transfer has never been more than a toy to demonstrate the transfer in the bad old times of crypto export restrictions. Remove them as they have some nasty interactions with loop device life times due to the iteration over all loop devices in loop_unregister_transfer.
