RTEMS | Re-import libcrypt as a proper 3rd-party library (#5332)

[Wayne Thornton (@wmthornton-dev)]

The plan as I understand it is to have all of the crypto code in libcrypt be able to be pulled from upstream FreeBSD for maintainability and future enhancements that may be released in the upstream that are suitable for RTEMS. My plan is to merge the new code with the old, calling out the original code as __rtems__ conditionals during compilation and adding enhancements to that older code as we find updated or newer features in the upstream during this transition. That way we have the option of taking in newer code but retain compatibility with what you've already written. 

AS to blowfish and NTHash, I agree. I suppose I could leave them out of the __rtems__ conditional in crypt.h.
