Description

While adding support for the non standardized Salsa20 ciphers is mostly useless, and ChaCha20 definitions from agl draft or old IETF drafts are not widely used, having the code points defined will be helpful for the scanners built on top of tlslite-ng.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Find the file where cipher suite constants are defined (likely constants.py) and add the code point values from the referenced drafts (draft josefsson salsa20 tls 04, draft agl tls chacha20poly1305-04, draft ietf tls chacha20 poly1305-00).
