Another port of existing x86 SSE code to NEON, again both for arm64 and ARM. ChaCha20 is a stream cipher described in RFC 7539, and is intended to be an efficient software implementable 'standby cipher', in case AES cannot be used. This NEON implementation is almost 2x as fast as the generic C code (measured on Cortex-A57 using the arm64 version) I'm aware that blkciphers are deprecated in favor of skciphers, but this code (like the x86 version) uses the init and setkey routines of the generic version, so it is probably better to port all implementations at once.
