Linux v5.4 and later supports v2 encryption policies.  These have
several advantages over v1 encryption policies:

- Their encryption keys can be added/removed to/from the filesystem by
  non-root users, thus gaining the benefits of the filesystem keyring
  while also retaining support for non-root use.

- They use a more standard, secure, and flexible key derivation
  function.  Because of this, some future kernel-level fscrypt features
  will be implemented for v2 policies only.

- They prevent a denial-of-service attack where a user could associate
  the wrong key with another user's encrypted files.

Prepare the fscrypt tool to support v2 encryption policies by:

- Adding a policy_version field to the EncryptionOptions, i.e. to the
  config file and to the policy metadata files.

- Using the kernel-specified algorithm to compute the key descriptor for
  v2 policies.

- Handling setting and getting v2 policies.

Actually adding/removing the keys for v2 policies to/from the kernel is
left for the next patch.

In preparation for introducing support for the new filesystem-level
keyrings, move the existing user keyring management code from
security/keyring.go and crypto/crypto.go into a new package, 'keyring'.

This package provides functions AddEncryptionKey, RemoveEncryptionKey,
and GetEncryptionKeyStatus which delegate to either the filesystem
keyring (added by a later patch) or to the user keyring.  This provides
a common interface to both types of keyrings, to the extent possible.

Use the golang library for the hashing function instead of the reference
C implementation. This removes the dependancy on libargon2. As we are no
longer doing our own error checking, we also eliminate those tests.

This commit changes all the internal import paths from `fscrypt/foo` to
`github.com/google/fscrypt/foo` so that it can be built once we release
externaly. The documentation in README.md is updated accordingly.

Also, the README has a note noting that we do not make any guarantees
about project stability before 1.0 (when it ships with Ubuntu).

<content type='text'>
This commit changes the error handing for the crypto, filesystem,
metadata, pam, and util packages to use the error handling library
github.com/pkg/errors. This means elimination of the FSError type, an
increased use of wrapping errors (as opposed to logging), switching
on the Cause() of an error (as opposed to its value), and improving our
integration tests involving TEST_FILESYSTEM_ROOT.

This commit also fixes a few bugs with the keyring code to ensure that
our {Find|Remove|Insert}PolicyKey functions are always operating on the
same keyring. The check for filesystem support has been moved from the
filesystem package to the metadata package. Finally, the API for the
filesystem package has been slightly modified:
	* filesystem.AllFilesystems() now returns all the filesystems in
	  sorted order
	* certain path methods are now public

O_SYNC is also removed for writing the metadata. We don't get that much
from syncing the metadata, as the actual file data could also be
corrupted by and IO error. The sync operation is also occasionally very
slow (~3 seconds) and can be unfriendly to battery life.

This commit adds in the FindPolicyKey and RemovePolicyKey functions to
complement the InsertPolicyKey function. The existing functions were
also refactored slightly.
