secure_seq: use SipHash in place of MD5



This gives a clear speed and security improvement. Siphash is both
faster and is more solid crypto than the aging MD5.

Rather than manually filling MD5 buffers, for IPv6, we simply create
a layout by a simple anonymous struct, for which gcc generates
rather efficient code. For IPv4, we pass the values directly to the
short input convenience functions.
