While TrueCrypt is no longer developed and supported since 2014,
VeraCrypt devices (as a successor of TrueCrypt) are much more
used today.
This patch switch default to scan for VeraCrypt signature, making
--veracrypt option obsolete (ignored by default as it is default).
If you need to disable VeraCrypt support, use new option
--disable-veracrypt.
Reencryption did not take into account adjusted xts
key size configuration option. This patch fix the
issue by using same logic as in luksFormat with xts
mode selected for data encryption.
By default when reencrypting LUKS2 device we regenerate only
the volume key. But if the device was 'encrypted' by cipher_null
this change did not make sense. The key was always empty.
Change the behaviour so that unless user specifies --cipher
parameter on command line, we change data encryption cipher
to default when old segment cipher was cipher_null.
By mistake LUKS2 allowed keyslots 'not-so-encrypted' by
cipher_null (only explicitly requested by --cipher or
--keyslot-cipher parameters). If we encounter
such old key during reencryption let's replace the cipher
for new keyslot with default LUKS2 keyslot cipher.
The routine was originaly used in code for resetting default
argument values. It was used in cli plugins related code
where we needed to parse command line arguments twice.
Add API call that can directly print JSON metadata area from LUKS2 device.
For commandline it also adds --dump-json-metadata option for luksDump action.
Note that the binary metadata (UUID, version etc) is not part of this output.
(We reserve flags parameter to be able to add this later.)
Fixes: #511
This reverts mostly these commits:

The library was ment to export common functions shared by
all cryptsetup tools and planned LUKS2 tokens plugins.
It is no longer needed.
THis fixes a problem for TCRYPT and reencryption in scripts
where "Nothing to read on input." is displayed because
cryptsetup retries password query even in stdin mode.
LUKS2 decryption is currently not supported for devices
with LUKS2 metadata placed in head of data devices. The decryption
still works correctly, but resulting plaintext device has data on
unexpected (original) offset. For example at offset of 16MiB in case
of default LUKS2 header.
Fixes: #614.
If user knows which particular PBKDF2 hash or cipher is used for
True/VeraCrypt container, using --hash of --cipher option in tcryptDump
and tcryptOpen can scan only these variants.
Note for the cipher it means substring (all cipher chains containing
the cipher are tried).
For example, you can use
cryptsetup tcryptDump --hash sha512 <container>
Note: for speed up, usually the hash option matters, cipher variants
are scanned very quickly.
Use witch care, in a script it can reveal some sensitive attribute
of the container.
Fixes#608.
TrueCrypt/VeraCrypt supports backup header, it seems to have
the same format as normal header.
Let's use --header option here, it can be used to unlock data partition
with header backup (open and dump commands).
Fixes: #587.
These performance options, introduced in kernel 5.9, configures
dm-crypt to bypass read or write workqueues and run encryption
synchronously.
Also support persistent storage of these flags for LUKS2.
Introducing new version of crypt_reencrypt symbol including
previously missing usrptr parameter. This change should be
backward compatible for existing libcryptsetup users
until next recompilation where it needs to be fixed.
