bolt04: Added reference to RFC 2104

FIPS 198 is based on RFC 2104, but further restricts the hashing
functions to the SHA-family, so this is a bit redundant, but my hope
is to avoid confusion about whether there is a difference.

Thanks @rustyrussell for pointing this one out.

- HMAC: the integrity verification of the packet is based on Keyed-Hash Message Authentication Code as defined by the [FIPS 198 Standard](http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/fips/fips198-1/FIPS-198-1_final.pdf), using `SHA256` as hashing algorithm.

The resulting HMAC is then truncated at 20 bytes in order to reduce the overhead.
- Elliptic Curve: for all computations involving elliptic curves, the
Bitcoin curve, [`secp256k1`](http://www.secg.org/sec2-v2.pdf), is used.
