17fee07a2a crypto: xctr - Add XCTR support
Add a generic implementation of XCTR mode as a template.  XCTR is a
blockcipher mode similar to CTR mode.  XCTR uses XORs and little-endian
addition rather than big-endian arithmetic which has two advantages:  It
is slightly faster on little-endian CPUs and it is less likely to be
implemented incorrect since integer overflows are not possible on
practical input sizes.  XCTR is used as a component to implement HCTR2.

More information on XCTR mode can be found in the HCTR2 paper:
