Discard 3072 bytes instead of 256 bytes

This follows the recommendations outlined in Network Operations Division
Cryptographic Requirements published on wikileaks on March 2017.
We discard more bytes of the first keystream to reduce possibility of
non-random bytes.
This is similar to a change in FreeBSD:
