Filippo Valsorda e84da03127 hkdf: add Extract and Expand
RFC 5869, Section 3.3 suggests it might be sometimes appropriate to use
Expand without Extract, and it is reasonable to reuse (secret, salt)
with different info values, in which case the Extract can be performed
once as an optimization.

TLS 1.3 also needs direct access to both Extract and Expand.

pseudorandomKey is ugly to look at, but that's intentional, as it
signals that this should have non-obvious properties to the user. The
docs will make it clear it's not the thing you should use in most cases.

Fixes golang/go#28237
