So this does not really change anything in practice since the actual
value of mka_algo_agility[] remains identical and all that changes is
that editorial change for the publication year of the 802.1X standard
which happened to be used here in the define name.

Why is this needed? This would be the first reference to IEEE Std
802.1Xbx-2014 in the implementation and I don't really see the need for
this unless there is goal to make a more complete review of the impact
of 802.1Xbx-2014 on the implementation.
