Add the __counted_by compiler attribute to the flexible array member
salt to improve access bounds-checking via CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS and
CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE.

Use struct_size_t() instead of manually calculating the struct's size.

What was wrong with the more straightforward code it had before?

There's nothing wrong with it, but I find using the helper macro
struct_size_t() more straightforward. It's just a refactoring; happy to
take it out if there's a preference for the open coded version.

Thanks,

AFAICT, all the allocations of struct chachapoly_ctx set "saltlen" before
using "salt".

My instinct is to use struct_size_t() as little as possible (compared
to normal struct_size), since I prefer to use it where a thing is being
allocated. (In this case, it's "far away".) So given Eric already thinks
this part should be dropped, I would agree: leave this as is.
