Also added ChaCha20 and ChaCha20Poly1305 to the list of strong algorithms, and adjusted the list according to availability (blowfish is still much underutilised) |

The fairly recent changes found in NIST.SP.800-131Ar2 deprecate 3TDEA and SKIPJACK. In Java these have a few different names, which I've placed in
getAnInsecureAlgorithmNamein the file java/ql/lib/semmle/code/java/security/Encryption.qllThis doesn't take full effect until the end of the year, technically, but I've found a need to be flagging it sooner (i.e. now).
