This patch swaps the role of libcrc32c and crc32c. Previously
the implementation was in libcrc32c and crc32c was a wrapper.
Now the code is in crc32c and libcrc32c just calls the crypto
layer.
The reason for the change is to tap into the algorithm selection
capability of the crypto API so that optimised implementations
such as the one utilising Intel's CRC32C instruction can be
used where available.

This patch reimplements crc32c using the ahash interface. This
allows one tfm to be used by an unlimited number of users provided
that they all use the same key (which all current crc32c users do).

Thanks for the suggestion, the init() is replaced with
<algorithm name>_mod_init ()
and fini () is replaced with <algorithm name>_mod_fini.

Now that the tfm is passed directly to setkey instead of the ctx, we no
longer need to pass the &tfm->crt_flags pointer.
This patch also gets rid of a few unnecessary checks on the key length
for ciphers as the cipher layer guarantees that the key length is within
the bounds specified by the algorithm.
Rather than testing dia_setkey every time, this patch does it only once
during crypto_alloc_tfm. The redundant check from crypto_digest_setkey
is also removed.

The convention for setkey is that once it is set it should not change,
in particular, init must not wipe out the key set by it. In fact, init
should always be used after setkey before any digestion is performed.
The only user of crc32c that sets the key is tcrypt. This patch adds
the necessary init calls there.

Up until now algorithms have been happy to get a context pointer since
they know everything that's in the tfm already (e.g., alignment, block
size).
However, once we have parameterised algorithms, such information will
be specific to each tfm. So the algorithm API needs to be changed to
pass the tfm structure instead of the context pointer.
This patch is basically a text substitution. The only tricky bit is
the assembly routines that need to get the context pointer offset
through asm-offsets.h.

A lot of crypto code needs to read/write a 32-bit/64-bit words in a
specific gender. Many of them open code them by reading/writing one
byte at a time. This patch converts all the applicable usages over
to use the standard byte order macros.
This is based on a previous patch by Denis Vlasenko.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
