        src/share/man/man4: crypto.4
        src/sys/opencrypto: crypto.c cryptodev.c cryptodev.h

Log Message:
Extend crypto.4 interface:

        * Asynchronous operation with result retrieval via select/poll
        * Mutliple-request submit/retrieve ioctls
        * Mutliple-session create-destroy ioctls

Revise/rewrite crypto.4 manual page.  It should now be much easier to write
new applications to this API.

Measured performance for trivial requests: 84,000 very short modular math
operations/sec, 120,000 very short md5 hashes per sec (with a hardware
accellerator of moderate performance but very low latency, whose driver
will be contributed at a later date).
