Description of the change

The cryptonite package is deprecated. Quoting from its README:

Deprecated in favor of crypton, cryptohash-md5, cryptohash-sha1, cryptohash-sha256, cryptohash-sha512

We replace our usage with the recommended crypton, pointing at the latest version that allows us to swap it without disruption. We shall update to the latest version, but for that we'd need to swap out memory as the rest of the ecosystem has migrated to the newer ram package; this swap requires a bit more work so we'll defer it to subsequent patch.
