NOTE: The 'addtionalInput' configuration and restrictions are the same as those for the 'persoString'.

NOTE: The custom 'counterFieldLen' was introduced in the SP800-90Ar1 update. This is only valid for AES and not TDES ctrDRBG, please refer to SP800-90Ar1 for guidance.

Joel, use these words:
"NOTE: The 'counterFieldLen' property was introduced to support the concept of counter field length as introduced in SP800-90Ar1. See SP800-90Ar1 Section 10.2.1, Table 3."

Joel, can you add a couple notes that TDES is no longer approved as of 1/1/24 w/ a reference to https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/SpecialPublications/NIST.SP.800-131Ar2.pdf? Add a note in section 5.1 and another below Table 4.
