crypto: Enable context analysis

Browse Source 
Enable context analysis for crypto subsystem.

This demonstrates a larger conversion to use Clang's context
analysis. The benefit is additional static checking of locking rules,
along with better documentation.

Note the use of the __acquire_ret macro how to define an API where a
function returns a pointer to an object (struct scomp_scratch) with a
lock held. Additionally, the analysis only resolves aliases where the
analysis unambiguously sees that a variable was not reassigned after
initialization, requiring minor code changes.
