crypto: doc - remove references to ARC4
arc4 is no longer considered secure, so it shouldn't be used, even as just an example. Mention serpent and chacha20 instead. Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com> Acked-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
