crypto: cast6 - add x86_64/avx assembler implementation



This patch adds a x86_64/avx assembler implementation of the Cast6 block
cipher. The implementation processes eight blocks in parallel (two 4 block
chunk AVX operations). The table-lookups are done in general-purpose registers.
For small blocksizes the functions from the generic module are called. A good
performance increase is provided for blocksizes greater or equal to 128B.

Patch has been tested with tcrypt and automated filesystem tests.

Tcrypt benchmark results:

Intel Core i5-2500 CPU (fam:6, model:42, step:7)
