lib/crypto: docs: Improve introduction sentence

Browse Source 
Make it clear that lib/crypto/ is a kernel-internal library.  It's easy
for people to come across this page, especially the HTML version online,
without that context.

Crypto library
==============
``lib/crypto/`` provides faster and easier access to cryptographic algorithms
than the traditional crypto API.
The Linux kernel's crypto library (``lib/crypto/``) provides kernel-internal
users of cryptographic algorithms with faster and easier access to those
algorithms than the traditional kernel crypto API.
Each cryptographic algorithm is supported via a set of dedicated functions.
"Crypto agility", where needed, is left to calling code.
