AES-XTS block limit.
Limit the number of AES blocks in a data unit to 2^20 or less. This corresponds to the mandates in IEEE Std 1619-2018 and NIST SP 800-38E. Note: that this is a change from IEEE Std 1619-2007 which only recommended this limit.

This output format is to replicate the output format found in the '*sum'
checksum programs. This aims to preserve backward compatibility.
