Add an AES-XTS implementation "xts-aes-vaes-avx2" for x86_64 CPUs with the VAES, VPCLMULQDQ, and AVX2 extensions, but not AVX512 or AVX10. This implementation uses ymm registers to operate on two AES blocks at a time. The assembly code is instantiated using a macro so that most of the source code is shared with other implementations. This is the optimal implementation on AMD Zen 3. It should also be the optimal implementation on Intel Alder Lake, which similarly supports VAES but not AVX512. Comparing to xts-aes-aesni-avx on Zen 3, xts-aes-vaes-avx2 provides 70% higher AES-256-XTS decryption throughput with 4096-byte messages, or 23% higher with 512-byte messages. A large improvement is also seen with CPUs that do support AVX512 (e.g., 98% higher AES-256-XTS decryption throughput on Ice Lake with 4096-byte messages), though the following patches add AVX512 optimized implementations to get a bit more performance on those CPUs.
