This patch adds the arc4random, arc4random_buf, and arc4random_uniform
functions along with optimized versions for x86_64 (sse2 and avx2),
aarch64, powerpc64 (power8), and s390x (vx).
The generic implementation is based on scalar Chacha20, with a per
thread state cache allocated lazily. The internal state keeps a 256
bytes buffer (8 ChaCha20 blocks) plus the cipher state, which allows
to better use the vectorized optimized version. It would be possible
to use just 128 bytes, but it would require to rewrite the AVX2
optimization (and possible it would lower performance slight).
The initial state and reseed uses getrandom or /dev/urandom as
fallback and reseeds the internal state on every 16MB of consumed
entropy.
There is no fork detection, the internal state is reset only for
fork and _Fork calls. It does not handle direct clone calls nor vfork.
Although it is lock-free, arc4random is still not async-signal-safe
(the per thread state is not updated atomically), although it is
async-cancel-safe.
The generic ChaCha20 implementation is based on the RFC8439 [1] without
the last XOR step. Since the input stream will either zero bytes
(initial state) or the PRNG output itself this step does not add any
extra entropy.
The optimized ChaCha20 implementations for x86_64, aarch64, powerpc64,
and s390x use vectorized instruction and they are based on libgcrypt
code.
ChaCha20 is used because is the standard cipher used on different
arc4random implementation (BSDs, MacOSX), and recently on Linux random
subsystem. It also offers a very cheap rekey, which uses periodically
uses kernel entropy to improve randomness; it is also simpler than AES,
and shows better performance when no specialized instructions are
present.

v11:
* Fixed Copyright headers.
v10:
* Fixed x86_64 building with different minimum ISA levels.
* Fixed documentation.
v9:
* Reword NEWS entry, internal comments, and style.
* Use explicit_bzero in more places.
* Do not include bits/stdint-uintn.h on stdint.h.
* Fixed documentation.
v8:
* Remove final register state clearing from optimized routines.
v7:
* Merged the lock-free TCV optimization on first patch.
* Added the original Copyright headers from libgcrypt on imported
implementations.
* Fixed typos and wording.
* Use DO_NOT_OPTIMIZE_OUT from hash benchmark.
v6:
* Replace array usage with variables and make compiler add hardening if
required to cleanup any internal state. It also shows slight better
performance.
* Add tests for arc4random and arc4random_uniform on thread and fork.
* Fixed documentation to state the functiosn as async-signal-unsafe.
v5:
* Added documentation.
* Fixed typos.
v4:
* Fixed typos and expanded comments.
* Fixed powerpc multi-arch organization.
v3:
* Add per-thread cache to remove the lock usage. It should improve both
performance and scalability.
* Improve benchmark precision.
* Fixed Hurd test build.
v2:
* Removed the last XOR operation on ChaCha20 implementation (it does
not much on arc4random usage).
* Add tst-arc4random-chacha20.c and refactor to check against the
expected implementation.
* Fixed aarch64 implementation (a last change to move symbols to hidden
did not change the relocation to use it as well).
* Refactor x86 SSSE3 to SSE2.
* Fixed powerpc64 implementation on BE (use the correct macro to check
for endianess instead the ones from libgcrpyt).
* Add s390x optimized ChaCha20 implementation.
