Added Polyalphabetic cipher
Describe your change:
This pull request adds an implementation of the Polyalphabetic Cipher, a classical cryptographic technique that uses multiple substitution alphabets for encryption and decryption. The implementation includes both encryption and decryption functions, supporting cyclic use of a key to determine letter shifts. Non-alphabetic characters are preserved during processing.
Reference For more details on the Polyalphabetic Cipher, refer to the Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyalphabetic_cipher
