Convert each comment section into a submenu:
Cryptographic API
Crypto core or helper
Public-key cryptography
AEAD (Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data) ciphers
Block modes
Hash modes
Digests
Ciphers
Compression
Random Number Generation
User-space interface
That helps find entries (e.g., searching for a name like SHA512 doesn't
just report the location is Main menu -> Cryptography API, leaving you
to wade through 153 entries; it points you to the Digests page).
Move a few of the entries so they fall into the correct submenu
and are better sorted.
