This PR is used to replace the PR #12321 as @vstinner requested in. VxWorks has no APIs crypt() and crypt_r() provided. And DES_crpyt() OpenSSL provides is super weak to implement the encryption. Moreover,
By the comments PR #12321 raised as below, community is planning to drop this module as well.
