Add VAES + AVX2 optimized AES-GCM

Add a VAES-optimized AES-GCM implementation that is optimized for AMD
Zen 3 processors, using AVX2 instead of AVX512 / AVX10.  With AVX2 only
16 vector registers are available and some instructions are missing,
which is inconvenient and makes the code not easily sharable with the
AVX512 / AVX10 version.  However, using VAES still gives a significant
performance improvement, about 80-85% on long messages as shown by the
following tables which show the change in AES-256-GCM throughput in MB/s
on a Zen 3 "Milan" processor for various message lengths in bytes.
