Removing padding from the encryption API
* Padding is fundamentally an operation that occurs prior to
encryption to make plaintext suitable.
* Even though wether it's regarded is dependent on the mode, it
can be used safely regardless.
* Moving it out of this API makes the API's simpler and more
composable.
* Moving it out of this API makes it simpler for backends that
don't work exactly like OpenSSL's EVP.
* Move it out of this API makes it simpler to include padding
that OpenSSL's EVP API doesn't expose.
