crypto: chacha20 - Add a SSSE3 SIMD variant for x86_64

Browse Source 
Implements an x86_64 assembler driver for the ChaCha20 stream cipher. This
single block variant works on a single state matrix using SSE instructions.
It requires SSSE3 due the use of pshufb for efficient 8/16-bit rotate
operations.

For large messages, throughput increases by ~65% compared to
chacha20-generic:

ChaCha20 cipher algorithm, RFC7539.
ChaCha20 is a 256-bit high-speed stream cipher designed by Daniel J.
Bernstein and further specified in RFC7539 for use in IETF protocols.
This is the x86_64 assembler implementation using SIMD instructions.
