Ok, so I've updated the patchset to utilise the generic interface in
the RFC-4231 tests, and also to utilise test vectors in RFC-2202 to
test HMAC-MD5 and HMAC-SHA1.

Additionally, the RFC-4231 tests now include the truncation test (test
vector 5) to exercise that particular code-path (i.e. hmac/4).
