[net.crypt] crypt 3 is OK

There is no bug in libc/gen/crypt.c.  The array E is generated from the
permutation in array e.  This is the "salting" opperation.

Cryptography is a field that has no room for hacking.  I would not make
an uneducated change in the DES algorithm and then think it will be
more secure.
