This commit adds Windows support for specifying AESGCM algorithms for EncryptingCredentials.

The motivation is described in #2081

Notably #1606 first added support for AESGCM Decryption, but throws a NotSupportedException when attempting to create a new EncryptingCredentials. It also adds a testing class that supports Encryption / Decryption, but I don't have the full context on why encryption was excluded from production code given that decryption works as expected. Alternatively I wouldn't mind overloading CryptoProvider / AuthenticatedEncryptionProvider with the Windows-specific Interop for my use case (.NET Framework), but these types are made internal to the library.

Uses the existing Windows Interop for OS Support of the encryption algorithm.

throw LogHelper.LogExceptionMessage(
new SecurityTokenEncryptionFailedException(LogHelper.FormatInvariant(TokenLogMessages.IDX10617, LogHelper.MarkAsNonPII(SecurityAlgorithms.Aes128CbcHmacSha256), LogHelper.MarkAsNonPII(SecurityAlgorithms.Aes192CbcHmacSha384), LogHelper.MarkAsNonPII(SecurityAlgorithms.Aes256CbcHmacSha512), LogHelper.MarkAsNonPII(encryptingCredentials.Enc))));

Even if I provide a custom CryptoProviderFactory with my own implementation of AuthenticatedEncryptionProvider, this code still throws and prevents me from creating tokens of type AESGCM

One alternate approach would be to have two separate PRs:

  1. Enable support for AES-GCM with custom CryptoProviderFactory. This would allow consumers of the API to plug-in their own AuthenticatedEncryptionProvider (e.g. Windows Interop / .NET AES GCM)

  2. A separate PR that adds support for AES-GCM Encryption. Later .NET APIs have a cross-platform API to call, but folks on .NET Framework would need to use Windows Interop
