Misc sockets, crypto and VNC fixes

* Fix rare EADDRINUSE failures on OpenBSD platforms seen
  with migration
* Fix & test overwriting of hash output buffer
* Close connection instead of returning empty SASL mechlist to
  VNC clients
* Fix handling of SASL SSF on VNC server UNIX sockets
* Fix handling of NULL SASL server data in VNC server
* Validate trailing NUL padding byte from SASL client
* Fix & test AF_ALG crypto backend build
* Remove unused code in sockets and crypto subsystems
