lib: Move SipHash into lib/crypto/

The addition of SipHash to lib/ predated the existence of the
lib/crypto/ directory. Since SipHash is a cryptographic algorithm, move
it from the top-level lib/ directory to lib/crypto/.

(This does mean HalfSipHash comes with it too, as it's in the same
files. But lib/crypto/ still seems like the proper place for both.)

Specifically:

- Move both siphash.c and siphash_kunit.c. Keep the header
<linux/siphash.h> as-is for now.

- Drop the dedicated MAINTAINERS entry for SipHash, as per the
suggestion from Jason
(https://lore.kernel.org/r/asB7QVFMlgKgbje2@zx2c4.com/). The C files
now just fold up to the "CRYPTO LIBRARY" entry. Add the header
explicitly, as it otherwise would be left unmaintained.

- Move the kconfig option that controls the KUnit test. Put
"CRYPTO_LIB" in its name and update the prompt and help text to make
it consistent with the other crypto library test options.

- Enable the KUnit test in lib/crypto/.kunitconfig.

- Link to siphash.rst from the appropriate place in libcrypto-hash.rst.

- Use obj-y instead of lib-y, for consistency with the fact that
currently lib/crypto/ doesn't use kbuild's support for library file
goals. We could keep it as lib-y, but virtually every kernel needs
SipHash support anyway (with vsprintf, printk, IPv4, IPv6, etc.
depending on it) so there is no practical difference in this case.
