crypto: chacha20 - Add an eight block AVX2 variant for x86_64
Extends the x86_64 ChaCha20 implementation by a function processing eight ChaCha20 blocks in parallel using AVX2. For large messages, throughput increases by ~55-70% compared to four block SSSE3: testing speed of chacha20 (chacha20-simd) encryption test 0 (256 bit key, 16 byte blocks): 42249230 operations in 10 seconds (675987680 bytes) test 1 (256 bit key, 64 byte blocks): 46441641 operations in 10 seconds (2972265024 bytes) test 2 (256 bit key, 256 byte blocks): 33028112 operations in 10 seconds (8455196672 bytes) test 3 (256 bit key, 1024 byte blocks): 11568759 operations in 10 seconds (11846409216 bytes) test 4 (256 bit key, 8192 byte blocks): 1448761 operations in 10 seconds (11868250112 bytes) testing speed of chacha20 (chacha20-simd) encryption test 0 (256 bit key, 16 byte blocks): 41999675 operations in 10 seconds (671994800 bytes) test 1 (256 bit key, 64 byte blocks): 45805908 operations in 10 seconds (2931578112 bytes) test 2 (256 bit key, 256 byte blocks): 32814947 operations in 10 seconds (8400626432 bytes) test 3 (256 bit key, 1024 byte blocks): 19777167 operations in 10 seconds (20251819008 bytes) test 4 (256 bit key, 8192 byte blocks): 2279321 operations in 10 seconds (18672197632 bytes) Benchmark results from a Core i5-4670T.
