Add support for the NH "almost-universal hash function" to lib/crypto/,
specifically the variant of NH used in Adiantum.

This will replace the need for the "nhpoly1305" crypto_shash algorithm.
All the implementations of "nhpoly1305" use architecture-optimized code
only for the NH stage; they just use the generic C Poly1305 code for the
Poly1305 stage.  We can achieve the same result in a simpler way using
an (architecture-optimized) nh() function combined with code in
crypto/adiantum.c that passes the results to the Poly1305 library.

This commit begins this cleanup by adding the nh() function.  The code
is derived from crypto/nhpoly1305.c and include/crypto/nhpoly1305.h.
