Remove the "ghash-neon" crypto_shash algorithm.  Move the corresponding
assembly code into lib/crypto/, and wire it up to the GHASH library.

This makes the GHASH library be optimized on arm (though only with NEON,
not PMULL; for now the goal is just parity with crypto_shash).  It
greatly reduces the amount of arm-specific glue code that is needed, and
it fixes the issue where this optimization was disabled by default.

To integrate the assembly code correctly with the library, make the
following tweaks:

- Change the type of 'blocks' from int to size_t.
- Change the types of 'dg' and 'h' to polyval_elem.  Note that this
  simply reflects the format that the code was already using, at least
  on little endian CPUs.  For big endian CPUs, add byte-swaps.
- Remove the 'head' argument, which is no longer needed.

Move the ARM optimized single-block AES en/decryption code into
lib/crypto/, wire it up to the AES library API, and remove the
superseded "aes-arm" crypto_cipher algorithm.

The result is that both the AES library and crypto_cipher APIs are now
optimized for ARM, whereas previously only crypto_cipher was (and the
optimizations weren't enabled by default, which this fixes as well).

aes-neonbs-glue.c calls __aes_arm_encrypt() and __aes_arm_decrypt() to
en/decrypt single blocks for CBC encryption, XTS tweak encryption, and
XTS ciphertext stealing.  In preparation for making the AES library use
this same ARM-optimized single-block AES en/decryption code and making
it an internal implementation detail of the AES library, replace the
calls to these functions with calls to the AES library.

Note that this reduces the size of the aesbs_cbc_ctx and aesbs_xts_ctx
structs, since unnecessary decryption round keys are no longer included.

Migrate the arm32 NEON implementation of NH into lib/crypto/.  This
makes the nh() function be optimized on arm32 kernels.

Note: this temporarily makes the adiantum template not utilize the arm32
optimized NH code.  This is resolved in a later commit that converts the
adiantum template to use nh() instead of "nhpoly1305".

Migrate the arm-optimized BLAKE2b code from arch/arm/crypto/ to
lib/crypto/arm/.  This makes the BLAKE2b library able to use it, and it
also simplifies the code because it's easier to integrate with the
library than crypto_shash.

This temporarily makes the arm-optimized BLAKE2b code unavailable via
crypto_shash.  A later commit reimplements the blake2b-* crypto_shash
algorithms on top of the BLAKE2b library API, making it available again.

Note that as per the lib/crypto/ convention, the optimized code is now
enabled by default.  So, this also fixes the longstanding issue where
the optimized BLAKE2b code was not enabled by default.

To see the diff from arch/arm/crypto/blake2b-neon-glue.c to
lib/crypto/arm/blake2b.h, view this commit with 'git show -M10'.

<title>lib/crypto: curve25519: Consolidate into single module</title>

Reorganize the Curve25519 library code:

- Build a single libcurve25519 module, instead of up to three modules:
  libcurve25519, libcurve25519-generic, and an arch-specific module.

- Move the arch-specific Curve25519 code from arch/$(SRCARCH)/crypto/ to
  lib/crypto/$(SRCARCH)/.  Centralize the build rules into
  lib/crypto/Makefile and lib/crypto/Kconfig.

- Include the arch-specific code directly in lib/crypto/curve25519.c via
  a header, rather than using a separate .c file.

- Eliminate the entanglement with CRYPTO.  CRYPTO_LIB_CURVE25519 no
  longer selects CRYPTO, and the arch-specific Curve25519 code no longer
  depends on CRYPTO.

This brings Curve25519 in line with the latest conventions for
lib/crypto/, used by other algorithms.  The exception is that I kept the
generic code in separate translation units for now.  (Some of the
function names collide between the x86 and generic Curve25519 code.  And
the Curve25519 functions are very long anyway, so inlining doesn't
matter as much for Curve25519 as it does for some other algorithms.)

Curve25519 is used only via the library API, not the crypto_kpp API.  In
preparation for removing the unused crypto_kpp API for Curve25519,
remove the unused "curve25519-neon" kpp algorithm.

Note that the underlying NEON optimized Curve25519 code remains fully
supported and accessible via the library API.

It's also worth noting that even if the kpp support for Curve25519 comes
back later, there is no need for arch-specific kpp glue code like this,
as a single kpp algorithm that wraps the library API is sufficient.

Instead of exposing the arm-optimized SHA-1 code via arm-specific
crypto_shash algorithms, instead just implement the sha1_blocks()
library function.  This is much simpler, it makes the SHA-1 library
functions be arm-optimized, and it fixes the longstanding issue where
the arm-optimized SHA-1 code was disabled by default.  SHA-1 still
remains available through crypto_shash, but individual architectures no
longer need to handle it.

To match sha1_blocks(), change the type of the nblocks parameter of the
assembly functions from int to size_t.  The assembly functions actually
already treated it as size_t.

Instead of providing crypto_shash algorithms for the arch-optimized
SHA-256 code, instead implement the SHA-256 library.  This is much
simpler, it makes the SHA-256 library functions be arch-optimized, and
it fixes the longstanding issue where the arch-optimized SHA-256 was
disabled by default.  SHA-256 still remains available through
crypto_shash, but individual architectures no longer need to handle it.

To merge the scalar, NEON, and CE code all into one module cleanly, add
!CPU_V7M as a direct dependency of the CE code.  Previously, !CPU_V7M
was only a direct dependency of the scalar and NEON code.  The result is
still the same because CPU_V7M implies !KERNEL_MODE_NEON, so !CPU_V7M
was already an indirect dependency of the CE code.

To match sha256_blocks_arch(), change the type of the nblocks parameter
of the assembly functions from int to size_t.  The assembly functions
actually already treated it as size_t.

While renaming the assembly files, also fix the naming quirk where
"sha2" meant sha256.  (SHA-512 is also part of SHA-2.)

Instead of providing crypto_shash algorithms for the arch-optimized
SHA-256 code, instead implement the SHA-256 library.  This is much
simpler, it makes the SHA-256 library functions be arch-optimized, and
it fixes the longstanding issue where the arch-optimized SHA-256 was
disabled by default.  SHA-256 still remains available through
crypto_shash, but individual architectures no longer need to handle it.

To merge the scalar, NEON, and CE code all into one module cleanly, add
!CPU_V7M as a direct dependency of the CE code.  Previously, !CPU_V7M
was only a direct dependency of the scalar and NEON code.  The result is
still the same because CPU_V7M implies !KERNEL_MODE_NEON, so !CPU_V7M
was already an indirect dependency of the CE code.

To match sha256_blocks_arch(), change the type of the nblocks parameter
of the assembly functions from int to size_t.  The assembly functions
actually already treated it as size_t.

While renaming the assembly files, also fix the naming quirk where
"sha2" meant sha256.  (SHA-512 is also part of SHA-2.)
