Subject: [PATCH 1/8] crypto: Kconfig - add submenus

Convert each comment section into a submenu:
Cryptographic API
    Crypto core or helper
    Public-key cryptography
    AEAD (Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data) ciphers
    Block modes
    Hash modes
    Digests
    Ciphers
    Compression
    Random Number Generation
    User-space interface

That helps find entries (e.g., searching for a name like SHA512 doesn't
just report the location is Main menu -> Cryptography API, leaving you
to wade through 153 entries; it points you to the Digests page).
