smb3.1.1: add new module load parm enable_gcm_256

Add new module load parameter enable_gcm_256. If set, then add AES-256-GCM (strongest encryption type) to the list of encryption types requested. Put it in the list as the second choice (since AES-128-GCM is faster and much more broadly supported by SMB3 servers). To make this stronger encryption type, GCM-256, required (the first and only choice, you would use module parameter "require_gcm_256."
