POHMELFS server got initial crypto processing capabilities.

POHMELFS server is able to handshake hash/cipher names and operation modes, to initialize appropriate algorithms and perfrom basic operations (like more generic hash_update() instead of different functions with different arguments used to hash data depending on operation mode, either simple digest or hmac: EVP_DigestUpdate()/HMAC_Update(). I'm working on the right way of doing crypto processing, since how it is done right now is a bit hairy, i.e. without serious changes in the code.
I already hate OpenSSL API: EVP_get_cipherbyname(), EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_DigestFinal_ex(). It looks like above functions were written by three different persons and they never actually talked to each other about how to make them look similar... But it is a minor issue of course.

So, when things are settled down, I will make a new release, likely it will see the light this week.
