Hello,

This series optimizes the Adiantum encryption mode for x86_64 by adding
SSE2 and AVX2 accelerated implementations of NHPoly1305, specifically
the NH part; and by modifying the existing x86_64 SSSE3/AVX2 ChaCha20
implementation to support XChaCha20 and XChaCha12.

This greatly improves Adiantum performance on x86_64.  For example, with
a 4096-byte input size on a Zen-based processor, which supports AVX2:

                           Before                After
                           --------              ---------
adiantum(xchacha12,aes)    505 MB/s              1250 MB/s
adiantum(xchacha20,aes)    387 MB/s              989 MB/s

Encryption and decryption are the same speed.

The biggest benefit comes from accelerating XChaCha.  Accelerating NH
gives a somewhat smaller, but still significant benefit.

Performance on 512-byte inputs is also improved, though that is much
slower in the first place.  When Adiantium is used with dm-crypt (or
cryptsetup), we recommend using a 4096-byte sector size.

For comparison, AES-256-XTS is 4140 MB/s on the same processor, but it
has the benefit of direct AES-NI hardware support for AES whereas
Adiantum is implemented entirely with general-purpose instructions
(scalar and SIMD).  The corresponding C implementation of AES-256-XTS is
only 288 MB/s, and AES isn't particularly well-suited for optimizing
with general-purpose SIMD instructions.  Also unlike Adiantum, XTS isn't
a super-pseudorandom permutation over the entire sector.

Note that XChaCha20 and XChaCha12 can be used for other purposes too.
