SUNRPC: Add build option to disable support for insecure enctypes

Enable distributions to enforce the rejection of ancient and
insecure Kerberos enctypes in the kernel's RPCSEC_GSS
implementation. These are the single-DES encryption types that
were deprecated in 2012 by RFC 6649.

Enctypes that were deprecated more recently (by RFC 8429) remain
fully supported for now because they are still likely to be widely
used.

Choose Y here to disable the use of deprecated encryption types
with the Kerberos version 5 GSS-API mechanism (RFC 1964). The
deprecated encryption types include DES-CBC-MD5, DES-CBC-CRC,
and DES-CBC-MD4. These types were deprecated by RFC 6649 because
they were found to be insecure.
N is the default because many sites have deployed KDCs and
keytabs that contain only these deprecated encryption types.
Choosing Y prevents the use of known-insecure encryption types
but might result in compatibility problems.
