Update Cryptsetup to v1.6+

[go2null]

The main use cases for updating to v1.6+ is support for TrueCrypt containers. This allows secure file sharing with Windows, instead on leaving plain files on the FAT32 USB drive.

Also, the current cryptsetup in initrd does not support aes-xts-plain save.dat files. (Or, at least, it complained and skipped such a save.dat. Had to use my cell phone to take a video to see what happened :-))

Also, the cryptsetup on the desktop is at v1.4.3, the latest release is v1.6.6 (released a few days ago, 2014-08-16), and v1.6.0 was released over a year and half ago (2013-01-14).

cryptsetup is now at v1.6.7 and adds support for VeraCrypt containers[1].
Note that VeraCrypt has patched some flaws[2] in TrueCypt, and so is now the defacto replacement for TrueCrypt.
