[Development] Playground: Crypto module

[Ruslan Nigmatullin]

Botan, as I see is C++ wrapper around OpenSSL itself. Qt already has OpenSSL dependency. What's are benefits of using it if Botan is just additional dependancy?
Also neither Botan or OpenSSL have SASL and GPG support.

So I would like to start Crypto module for Qt5 with convience crypto-methods (Qt-based wrappers for TLS/SSL encryption, SASL, AES/etc encryption, SHA/HMAC hashing, etc) and nice Qt-style API. It's proposed to use appropriate libraries like OpenSSL/cyrus-sasl/gnugp/etc.
