The crypto algorithms selected by the ESP and AH kconfig options are
out-of-date with the guidance of RFC 8221, which lists the legacy
algorithms MD5 and DES as "MUST NOT" be implemented, and some more
modern algorithms like AES-GCM and HMAC-SHA256 as "MUST" be implemented.
But the options select the legacy algorithms, not the modern ones.

Therefore, modify these options to select the MUST algorithms --
and *only* the MUST algorithms.

Also improve the help text.
