nts: add client support for authentication with AES-128-GCM-SIV

If AES-128-GCM-SIV is available on the client, add it to the requested
algorithms in NTS-KE as the first (preferred) entry.

If supported on the server, it will make the cookies shorter, which
will get the length of NTP messages containing only one cookie below
200 octets. This should make NTS more reliable in networks where longer
NTP packets are filtered as a mitigation against amplification attacks
exploiting the ntpd mode 6/7 protocol.
