Add a constant-time pshufb-based GHASH implementation.

We currently require clmul instructions for constant-time GHASH
on x86_64. Otherwise, it falls back to a variable-time 4-bit table
implementation. However, a significant proportion of clients lack these
instructions.

Inspired by vpaes, we can use pshufb and a slightly different order of
incorporating the bits to make a constant-time GHASH. This requires
SSSE3, which is very common. Benchmarking old machines we had on hand,
it appears to be a no-op on Sandy Bridge and a small slowdown for
Penryn.

Sandy Bridge (Intel Pentium CPU 987 @ 1.50GHz):
(Note: these numbers are before 16-byte-aligning the table. That was an
improvement on Penryn, so it's possible Sandy Bridge is now better.)

BoringSSL

BoringSSL is a fork of OpenSSL that is designed to meet Google's needs.

Although BoringSSL is an open source project, it is not intended for general use, as OpenSSL is. We don't recommend that third parties depend upon it. Doing so is likely to be frustrating because there are no guarantees of API or ABI stability.

Programs ship their own copies of BoringSSL when they use it and we update everything as needed when deciding to make API changes. This allows us to mostly avoid compromises in the name of compatibility. It works for us, but it may not work for you.

BoringSSL arose because Google used OpenSSL for many years in various ways and, over time, built up a large number of patches that were maintained while tracking upstream OpenSSL. As Google's product portfolio became more complex, more copies of OpenSSL sprung up and the effort involved in maintaining all these patches in multiple places was growing steadily.

Currently BoringSSL is the SSL library in Chrome/Chromium, Android (but it's not part of the NDK) and a number of other apps/programs.
