Pull AES-GCM optimizations from Eric Biggers:
"More optimizations and cleanups for the x86_64 AES-GCM code:
- Add a VAES+AVX2 optimized implementation of AES-GCM. This is very
helpful on CPUs that have VAES but not AVX512, such as AMD Zen 3.
- Make the VAES+AVX512 optimized implementation of AES-GCM handle
large amounts of associated data efficiently.
- Remove the "avx10_256" implementation of AES-GCM. It's superseded
by the VAES+AVX2 optimized implementation.
- Rename the "avx10_512" implementation to "avx512"
Overall, this fills in a gap where AES-GCM wasn't fully optimized on
some recent CPUs. It also drops code that won't be as useful as
initially expected due to AVX10/256 being dropped from the AVX10 spec"
