crypto: x86/aes-gcm - add VAES+AVX2 optimized code

Add an implementation of AES-GCM that uses 256-bit vectors and the
following CPU features: Vector AES (VAES), Vector Carryless
Multiplication (VPCLMULQDQ), and AVX2.

It doesn't require AVX512.  So unlike the existing VAES+AVX512 code, it
works on CPUs that support VAES but not AVX512, specifically:

    - AMD Zen 3, both client and server
    - Intel Alder Lake, Raptor Lake, Meteor Lake, Arrow Lake, and Lunar
      Lake.  (These are client CPUs.)
    - Intel Sierra Forest.  (This is a server CPU.)

On these CPUs, this VAES+AVX2 code is much faster than the existing
AES-NI code.  The AES-NI code uses only 128-bit vectors.

These CPUs are widely deployed, making VAES+AVX2 code worthwhile even
though hopefully future x86_64 CPUs will uniformly support AVX512.

This implementation will also serve as the fallback 256-bit
implementation for older Intel CPUs (Ice Lake and Tiger Lake) that
support AVX512 but downclock too eagerly when 512-bit vectors are used.
Currently, the VAES+AVX10/256 implementation serves that purpose.  A
later commit will remove that and just use the VAES+AVX2 one.  (Note
that AES-XTS and AES-CTR already successfully use this approach.)

I originally wrote this AES-GCM implementation for BoringSSL.  It's been
in BoringSSL for a while now, including in Chromium.  This is a port of
it to the Linux kernel.  The main changes in the Linux version include:

- Port from "perlasm" to a standard .S file.
- Align all assembly functions with what aesni-intel_glue.c expects,
  including adding support for lengths not a multiple of 16 bytes.
- Rework the en/decryption of the final 1 to 127 bytes.

This commit increases AES-256-GCM throughput on AMD Milan (Zen 3) by up
to 74%, as shown by the following tables:

Table 1: AES-256-GCM encryption throughput change,
         CPU vs. message length in bytes:

                      | 16384 |  4096 |  4095 |  1420 |   512 |   500 |

                      |   300 |   200 |    64 |    63 |    16 |
----------------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
AMD Milan (Zen 3)     |   14% |   12% |    7% |    7% |    0% |

Table 2: AES-256-GCM decryption throughput change,
         CPU vs. message length in bytes:

                      | 16384 |  4096 |  4095 |  1420 |   512 |   500 |
----------------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
AMD Milan (Zen 3)     |   74% |   65% |   65% |   44% |   23% |   26% |

                      |   300 |   200 |    64 |    63 |    16 |
