f9ae6fddfd Fix Blowfish and Blowfish2 correctness issues and improve initialization safety
In Blowfish
- Fix incorrect F-function byte extraction (critical bug).
- Correct key-schedule handling by using `uint8_t` key bytes.
- Initialize local variables in `initialize()` to prevent UB.
- Improve decrypt loop and XOR usage for clarity and correctness.

In Blowfish2
- Zero-initialize P-array and S-boxes to guarantee deterministic state.
- Fix incorrect key size comment (448 bits, not 4224 bits).
- Improve F-function byte extraction clarity.
- Normalize round loop logic and use XOR-assignment.

Others
- Replace macro `N` with `constexpr N`.
- Add `noexcept` to internal operations.
- Add `initialize(const uint8_t*, size_t)` overload for binary keys.
- Clean up readability and internal consistency across both ciphers.

# Blowfish and Blowfish2 Encryption Algorithm

Blowfish is a symmetric block cipher that can be used as a drop-in replacement for DES or IDEA. It takes a variable-length key, from 32 bits to 448 bits, making it ideal for both domestic and exportable use. Blowfish was designed in 1993 by Bruce Schneier as a fast, free alternative to existing encryption algorithms. Since then it has been analyzed considerably, and it is slowly gaining acceptance as a strong encryption algorithm. Blowfish is unpatented and license-free, and is available free for all uses.

Blowfish 2 was released in 2005. It has exactly the same design but has twice as many S tables and uses 64-bit integers instead of 32-bit integers. It no longer works on 64-bit blocks but on 128-bit blocks like AES. 128-bit block, 64 rounds, key up to 4224 bits.

## Building
This library has no dependencies on any other code. Just a C++ compiler should be enough to build
this. Although this library is supposed to be used under some other project, sometimes you may need
to build this. Here are the prerequisites:
- [CMake](https://cmake.org/download/)
- [G++](https://gcc.gnu.org/) or [Clang](https://clang.llvm.org/)
- [Make](https://www.gnu.org/software/make/) or [Ninja Build](https://ninja-build.org/) or any other CMake compatible generator.
Here is how I install them on Fedora:
```shell
sudo dnf install clang cmake g++ make ninja-build
```
Configure CMake, enabled debug for development purposes:
```shell
cmake -B build -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
```
Build using configured generator:
```shell
cmake --build build --config Debug
```
