[noise] New draft: "noh2" branch

[Jason A. Donenfeld]

Regarding termination --

For my specific use case, I'm not sure how it'd be useful, as I'm simply
encapsulating IP packets inside encrypted UDP packets. Ephemerals are
already wiped out every 2 minutes if they're not ratcheted/renegotiated so
I don't need an explicit way of saying "I won't be sending any more data".
And I don't risk truncation attacks anyway, because of the poly1305
authenticator tag. You mentioned that file formats which rely on EOF will
need a termination mark, but I don't see why: if a noise-encrypted file is
truncated, won't the poly1305 tag be incorrect too?

Jason
