dumpon.8: Update minimum key size language

dumpon(8) has not accepted 1024-bit RSA keys since prior to r339784 (2018-10).
The manual page language was not updated at that time (oops). The minimum
accepted is 2048 bits, which is also a good default choice.

EKCD: Add Chacha20 encryption mode

Add Chacha20 mode to Encrypted Kernel Crash Dumps.

Chacha20 does not require messages to be multiples of block size, so it is
valid to use the cipher on non-block-sized messages without the explicit
padding AES-CBC would require. Therefore, allow use with simultaneous dump
compression. (Continue to disallow use of AES-CBC EKCD with compression.)

dumpon(8) gains a -C cipher flag to select between chacha and aes-cbc.
It defaults to chacha if no -C option is provided. The man page documents this
behavior.

List-ify kernel dump device configuration

Allow users to specify multiple dump configurations in a prioritized list.
This enables fallback to secondary device(s) if primary dump fails. E.g.,
one might configure a preference for netdump, but fallback to disk dump as a
second choice if netdump is unavailable.

This change does not list-ify netdump configuration, which is tracked
separately from ordinary disk dumps internally; only one netdump
configuration can be made at a time, for now. It also does not implement
IPv6 netdump.

savecore(8) is already capable of scanning and iterating multiple devices
from /etc/fstab or passed on the command line.

This change doesn't update the rc or loader variables 'dumpdev' in any way;
it can still be set to configure a single dump device, and rc.d/savecore
still uses it as a single device. Only dumpon(8) is updated to be able to
configure the more complicated configurations for now.

As part of revving the ABI, unify netdump and disk dump configuration ioctl
/ structure, and leave room for ipv6 netdump as a future possibility.
Backwards-compatibility ioctls are added to smooth ABI transition,
especially for developers who may not keep kernel and userspace perfectly
synced.

Change dumpon(8)'s handling of -g.

Rather than using a special value to denote "use the default router",
treat the absence of the -g option to mean the same thing. The
in-kernel netdump client will always attempt to reach the server
directly before falling back to the configured gateway anyway. This
change makes it cleaner to support a hostname value for -g.

dumpon(8): Provide seatbelt against weak RSA keys

The premise of dumpon -k foo.pem is that dump contents will be confidential
except to anyone holding the corresponding RSA private key.

This guarantee breaks down when weak RSA keys are used. Small RSA keys
(e.g. 512 bits) can be broken on a single personal computer in tractible
time. Marginal RSA keys (768 bits) can be broken by EC2 and a few dollars.
Even 1024 bit keys can probably be broken by sophisticated and wealthy
attackers.

NIST SP800-57 (2016) recommends a minimum of 2048 bit RSA keys, and
estimates this provides 112 bits of security.

It would also be good to protect users from weak values of 'e' (i.e., 3) and
perhaps sanity check that their public key .pem does not accidentally
contain their private key as well. These considerations are left as future
work.
