To some degree, most known AArch64 micro-architectures appear to be
able to issue ALU instructions in parellel to SIMD instructions
without affecting the SIMD throughput. This means we can use the ALU
to process a fifth ChaCha block while the SIMD is processing four
blocks in parallel.

Update the 4-way NEON ChaCha routine so it can handle input of any
length >64 bytes in its entirety, rather than having to call into
the 1-way routine and/or memcpy()s via temp buffers to handle the
tail of a ChaCha invocation that is not a multiple of 256 bytes.
On inputs that are a multiple of 256 bytes (and thus in tcrypt
benchmarks), performance drops by around 1% on Cortex-A57, while
performance for inputs drawn randomly from the range [64, 1024)
increases by around 30%.

Now that the ARM64 NEON implementation of ChaCha20 and XChaCha20 has
been refactored to support varying the number of rounds, add support for
XChaCha12. This is identical to XChaCha20 except for the number of
rounds, which is 12 instead of 20. This can be used by Adiantum.

In preparation for adding XChaCha12 support, rename/refactor the ARM64
NEON implementation of ChaCha20 to support different numbers of rounds.
