gpg: Support OCB encryption.

Description

gpg: Support OCB encryption.

* g10/build-packet.c (do_encrypted_aead): New.
(do_symkey_enc): Handle version 5.
(build_packet): Support the ENCRYPTED_AEAD packet.
* g10/cipher.c (MIN_PARTIAL_SIZE): Remove unused macro.
(AEAD_ENC_BUFFER_SIZE): New macro.
(my_iobuf_write): New.
(write_header): Rename to write_cfb_header.  Adjust caller.
(set_ocb_nonce_and_ad): New.
(write_ocb_header): New.
(write_ocb_auth_tag): New.
(write_ocb_final_chunk): New.
(do_ocb_flush): New.
(do_ocb_free): New.
(cipher_filter_ocb): New.
* g10/filter.h (cipher_filter_context_t): Add fields for AEAD.
* g10/encrypt.c (encrypt_symmetric): For the use of a session key in
OCB mode.
(encrypt_seskey): Revamp to support OCB.
(use_aead): New.
(encrypt_simple): Support OCB.
(write_symkey_enc): Ditto.
(encrypt_crypt): Ditto.
(encrypt_filter): Handle OCB.
* g10/options.h (opt): Add field force_ocb.
* g10/gpg.c (oForceOCB): New.
(opts): New option "--force-ocb".
(main): Set force_ocb option.
* g10/gpgcompose.c (encrypt_seskey): New.
* g10/keygen.c (aead_available): New global var.
(keygen_set_std_prefs): Set AEAD feature by default in GNUPG mode. Add
parings of aead feature flag.
(keygen_get_std_prefs): Set aead flag.
(add_feature_aead): New.
(keygen_upd_std_prefs): Set OCB as preference if AEAD is enabled.
* g10/pkclist.c (select_aead_from_pklist): New.
(warn_missing_aead_from_pklist): New.
(select_mdc_from_pklist): Remove this unused function.

This extends the long available OCB and EAX decryption feature. Due
to the meanwhile expired patent on OCB there is no more reason for
using EAX. Thus we forcefully use OCB if the AEAD feature flag is set
on a key.

In GNUPG mode new keys are now created with the AEAD feature flag set.
Option --rfc4880 is one way to disable this.
