lib/crypto: x86/aes: Add AES-NI optimization

Optimize the AES library with x86 AES-NI instructions.

The relevant existing assembly functions, aesni_set_key(), aesni_enc(),
and aesni_dec(), are a bit difficult to extract into the library:

- They're coupled to the code for the AES modes.
- They operate on struct crypto_aes_ctx. The AES library now uses
different structs.
- They assume the key is 16-byte aligned. The AES library only
*prefers* 16-byte alignment; it doesn't require it.

Moreover, they're not all that great in the first place:

- They use unrolled loops, which isn't a great choice on x86.
- They use the 'aeskeygenassist' instruction, which is unnecessary, is
slow on Intel CPUs, and forces the loop to be unrolled.
- They have special code for AES-192 key expansion, despite that being
kind of useless. AES-128 and AES-256 are the ones used in practice.

These are small functions anyway.

Therefore, I opted to just write replacements of these functions for the
library. They address all the above issues.
