crypto: arm64/speck - add NEON-accelerated implementation of Speck-XTS

Add a NEON-accelerated implementation of Speck128-XTS and Speck64-XTS
for ARM64.  This is ported from the 32-bit version.  It may be useful on
devices with 64-bit ARM CPUs that don't have the Cryptography
Extensions, so cannot do AES efficiently -- e.g. the Cortex-A53
processor on the Raspberry Pi 3.

It generally works the same way as the 32-bit version, but there are
some slight differences due to the different instructions, registers,
and syntax available in ARM64 vs. in ARM32.  For example, in the 64-bit
version there are enough registers to hold the XTS tweaks for each
128-byte chunk, so they don't need to be saved on the stack.

Benchmarks on a Raspberry Pi 3 running a 64-bit kernel:
