agecrypt: File Encryption with the 'age' Format

An idiomatic R interface to the 'age' file encryption format (<https://age-encryption.org/v1>), backed by a vendored copy of the 'agec' C implementation (<https://git.sr.ht/~min/agec>). Encrypt and decrypt raw vectors, files, and strings for one or more X25519 recipients or with a passphrase, with optional ASCII armor. Cryptography is vendored and randomness is drawn from the operating system, so the package has no external library dependencies.

Version: 0.1.0
Suggests: askpass, openssl, testthat (≥ 3.0.0), withr
