Encrypt capture #52

Description

Description

In stringent security environments, it might be desirable to encrypt all the capture data including processes, handles, and, of course, kernel events. For this purpose, the cap configuration section should get a couple of new attributes including the encryption algorithm (e.g. aes) and the actual encryption key. We should provide the ability to load the key from alternative sources, e.g. environment variables or vault stores. The encryption algorithm will get stored in the capture flags bitset that is part of the kcap header, so we can effectively compare the algorithm that was used to encrypt the kcap with the one that is specified in the configuration and bail out when they differ.
