Fixes: ECB mode
One-line summary: makes the default encryption module, blowfish, use CBC mode by default instead of the more insecure ECB mode.
Additional description (if needed): When using "encrypt" or "decrypt", the key can have the "ecb:" or "cbc:" prefix to explicitly set a mode to use. When encrypting, CBC mode is used by default unless the key has "ecb:" (case insensitive). When decrypting however, CBC mode is only used by default if the given string starts with "*", even when the key has "cbc:" prefixed.
