Windows: enhancement to RAM encryption
- use a more standard-looking memory value tag instead of fully random one that will look suspicious and outstanding - If we fail to allocate 1MiB for derivation area, we device the size by two in a loop until we succeed. This is better than falling back directly to 8KiB size - Better method to derive actual encryption key: instead of simply duplicating 128bit key value, we combine a xor addition and self-encryption to build a 256-bit key - use both encID and pbKeyDerivationArea to derive IV for encryption and not only endID
