[ospfd]: add support for RFC 5709 HMAC-SHA Auth

This patch includes:
* Implementation of RFC 5709 support in OSPF. Using
openssl library and FRR key-chain,
one can use SHA1, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512 and
keyed-MD5( backward compatibility with RFC 2328) HMAC algs.
* Updating documentation of OSPF
* add topotests for new HMAC algorithms

+.. clicmd:: ip ospf authentication key-chain KEYCHAIN
+
+   Specify that HMAC cryptographic authentication must be used on this interface
+   using a key chain. Overrides any authentication enabled on a per-area basis
+   (:clicmd:`area A.B.C.D authentication message-digest`)
+
+   * ``KEYCHAIN``: Specifies the name of the key chain that contains the authentication
+   key(s) and cryptographic algorithms to be used for OSPF authentication. The key chain
+   is a logical container that holds one or more authentication keys,
+   allowing for key rotation and management.
+
+   Note that OSPF HMAC cryptographic authentication requires that time never go backwards
+   (correct time is NOT important, only that it never goes backwards), even
+   across resets, if ospfd is to be able to promptly reestablish adjacencies
+   with its neighbours after restarts/reboots. The host should have system time
+   be set at boot from an external or non-volatile source (e.g. battery backed
+   clock, NTP, etc.) or else the system clock should be periodically saved to
+   non-volatile storage and restored at boot if HMAC cryptographic authentication is to be
+   expected to work reliably.
+
+   Example:
+
+   .. code:: frr
+
+      r1(config)#key chain temp
+      r1(config-keychain)#key 13
+      r1(config-keychain-key)#key-string ospf
