std.crypto: add AES-SIV and AES-GCM-SIV
The Zig standard library lacked schemes that resist nonce reuse. AES-SIV and AES-GCM-SIV are the standard options for this. AES-GCM-SIV can be very useful when Zig is used to target embedded systems, and AES-SIV is especially useful for key wrapping. Also take it as an opportunity to add a bunch of test vectors to modes.ctr and make sure it works with block ciphers whose size is not 16.

+/// AES-SIV: Deterministic authenticated encryption - the same message always produces the same ciphertext.
+///
+/// What it does: Encrypts data and protects it from tampering. Unlike most encryption modes,
+/// AES-SIV is deterministic: encrypting the same message with the same key always produces
+/// the same ciphertext (unless you provide an optional nonce).
+///
+/// When to use AES-SIV:
+/// - When you need deterministic encryption (e.g., for deduplication in encrypted storage)
+/// - When you can't store or generate nonces
+/// - For key wrapping (protecting cryptographic keys)
+/// - When you need to search encrypted data without decrypting it
+///
+/// When NOT to use AES-SIV:
+/// - When identical plaintexts must produce different ciphertexts (use AES-GCM or AES-GCM-SIV)
+/// - For network protocols where replay attacks are a concern
+///
+/// Unique features:
+/// - Optional nonce: You can add a nonce to make encryption non-deterministic, but this is optional
+/// - Multiple associated data: Supports a vector of associated data strings instead of just one.
+///   The algorithm cryptographically ensures each component is properly separated, preventing
+///   canonicalization attacks where different splits of data could be accepted as valid.
+///
+/// Security properties:
+/// - Deterministic: Same input always gives same output (this can leak information about patterns)
+/// - Nonce misuse resistant: Doesn't catastrophically fail if you reuse a nonce
+/// - Key commitment: Ciphertext can only be decrypted with the exact key that encrypted it
+///
+/// AES-SIV has better security properties than AES-GCM-SIV, but is must slower.
+///
+/// How it works: Combines two keys - one for authentication (S2V) and one for encryption (CTR mode).
+/// The total key size is double the AES key size (256 bits for AES-128-SIV, 512 bits for AES-256-SIV).
+///
+/// Defined in RFC 5297.
