Utility functions for applying a block cipher in Cipher Block Chaining
(CBC) mode. The function f is really typed as @code{void f (void
*@var{ctx}, unsigned @var{length}, uint8_t @var{dst}, const uint8_t
*@var{src}), and the @code{cbc_encrypt} and @code{cbc_decrypt} functions
pass their argument @var{ctx} on to @code{f}.
There are also some macros to help use these functions correctly, XXX
describe CBC_SET_IV, CBC_ENCRYPT and CBC_DECRYPT.
