Alright - I have enabled CBC mode algorithms to make testing easier.

We default to CTR mode only now, given that OpenSSH disabled CBC last year, and our customers want to follow external recommendations, which are to disable CBC.

Our implementation actually implements a defense for the CBC problem - but that only works for incoming data, not outgoing. And folks who still only have CBC probably do not implement a defense...
