Replay attack bug fix (encryption prefixes)

Ensure that an attacker cannot force a replay attack by intercepting an
SPA packet and the replaying it with the base64 version of "Salted__"
(for Rindael) or the "hQ" prefix (for GnuPG).  This is an important fix.
The following comment was added into the fwknopd code:

/* Ignore any SPA packets that contain the Rijndael or GnuPG prefixes
 * since an attacker might have tacked them on to a previously seen
 * SPA packet in an attempt to get past the replay check.  And, we're
 * no worse off since a legitimate SPA packet that happens to include
 * a prefix after the outer one is stripped off won't decrypt properly
 * anyway because libfko would not add a new one.
*/
