As Antonio pointed out, "8-bit block cipher" is a bit funny. So teach
print_cipher() to print such cipher as "stream cipher".

Because I didn't want to write the same code twice, I decided to merge the
two print_cipher() implementations into one shared function. That should
make it easier to keep both backends consistent.

Does what it says. Simple and plain. No warning anymore.
And now we have a more meaningful text ;)

Your patch has been applied to the master branch.

"Does what it says on the lid"... before:

CHACHA20-POLY1305  (256 bit key, 8 bit block, TLS client/server mode only)

.. after:

CHACHA20-POLY1305  (256 bit key, stream cipher, TLS client/server mode only)
