927e01da02 g: rework DCRYPTO_app_cipher (AES-CTR) for speed
The previous implementation of DCRYPTO_app_cipher
consumed roughly 16ms to cipher a 16kB buffer
(i.e. performance that is far worse than the
hardware is capable of).

This change speeds up the implementation by about
85%, to the tune of roughly 2.2ms for a 16kB buffer.

The gains originate from various sources: loop
unrolling, data-pipelining, eliminating local
variables (to reduce register pressure), eliminating
support for unaligned input/output data, compiling
hot code with -O (rather the default -Os), and
using the hidden key-ladder, which need only be
setup once per reset.

This change also switches from AES-128 to AES-256.

TEST=make buildall succeeds;
	cipher command succeeds;
        TCG tests pass

7d2e4fbf5b g: common: introduce generic crypto API
On boards based on the g chip cryptographic functions come from
hardware, they should be implemented in chip/g as opposed to a
particular board.

The common modules (like nvmem) should be using some generic API,
which hopefully will be implemented by other chips, or could be
replaced by a purely software implementation where crypto hardware
support is not available.

Crypto API definition is being added in include/ and the g chip
implementation (a wrapper around dcrypto functions) is being added in
chip/g.

test/nvmem_vars.h needed to be edited to avoid conflict with
<string.h>.

TEST=make buildall -j still passes. Booting reef with the new image
     works fine too.
