[RFC PATCH v2 03/10] drm/vino: add the AES-CTR/AES-CMAC control-plane seal and arm sequence

[Mike Lothian]

cp.rs implements the post-AKE control-plane wire format: the AES-CTR
seal (K_dl3 = ks, keystream AES-CTR(ks, riv || BE64(seq)) over the
whole inner message), the Dl3Cmac trailer (AES-CMAC over the sealed
ciphertext with a riv-derived nonce, encrypt-then-MAC), the stream-open
arm marker that makes the dock start processing encrypted CP, and the
message builders for mode-set, cursor, and DDC/CI Set-VCP (brightness/
contrast/DPMS power). All of this is verified byte-exact against the
reference daemon's captured wire traffic.
