Now that all "blkcipher" algorithms have been converted to "skcipher",
remove the blkcipher algorithm type.
The skcipher (symmetric key cipher) algorithm type was introduced a few
years ago to replace both blkcipher and ablkcipher (synchronous and
asynchronous block cipher). The advantages of skcipher include:
- A much less confusing name, since none of these algorithm types have
ever actually been for raw block ciphers, but rather for all
length-preserving encryption modes including block cipher modes of
operation, stream ciphers, and other length-preserving modes.
- It unified blkcipher and ablkcipher into a single algorithm type
which supports both synchronous and asynchronous implementations.
Note, blkcipher already operated only on scatterlists, so the fact
that skcipher does too isn't a regression in functionality.
- Better type safety by using struct skcipher_alg, struct
crypto_skcipher, etc. instead of crypto_alg, crypto_tfm, etc.
- It sometimes simplifies the implementations of algorithms.
Also, the blkcipher API was no longer being tested.

Now that the crypto_skcipher_type() function has been removed, there's
no reason to call the crypto_type struct for skciphers
"crypto_skcipher_type2". Rename it to simply "crypto_skcipher_type".

crypto_has_ablkcipher() has no users, and it does the same thing as
crypto_has_skcipher() anyway. So remove it. This also removes the last
user of crypto_skcipher_type() and crypto_skcipher_mask(), so remove
those too.

crypto_has_skcipher() and crypto_has_skcipher2() do the same thing: they
check for the availability of an algorithm of type skcipher, blkcipher,
or ablkcipher, which also meets any non-type constraints the caller
specified. And they have exactly the same prototype.
Therefore, eliminate the redundancy by removing crypto_has_skcipher()
and renaming crypto_has_skcipher2() to crypto_has_skcipher().
