Support extended packet number cipher suites (802.1AEbw) frames handling.
This does not include the needed netlink patches.
* Added xpn boolean field to `struct macsec_secy`.
* Added ssci field to `struct_macsec_tx_sa` (802.1AE figure 10-5).
* Added ssci field to `struct_macsec_rx_sa` (802.1AE figure 10-5).
* Added salt field to `struct macsec_key` (802.1AE 10.7 NOTE 1).
* Created pn_t type for easy access to lower and upper halves.
* Created salt_t type for easy access to the "ssci" and "pn" parts.
* Created `macsec_fill_iv_xpn` function to create IV in XPN mode.
* Support in PN recovery and preliminary replay check in XPN mode.
In addition, according to IEEE 802.1AEbw figure 10-5, the PN of incoming
frame can be 0 when XPN cipher suite is used, so fixed the function
`macsec_validate_skb` to fail on PN=0 only if XPN is off.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
