[CRYPTO] lib: table driven multiplications in GF(2^128)

A lot of cypher modes need multiplications in GF(2^128). LRW, ABL, GCM...
I use functions from this library in my LRW implementation and I will
also use them in my ABL (Arbitrary Block Length, an unencumbered (correct
me if I am wrong, wide block cipher mode).

Elements of GF(2^128) must be presented as u128 *, it encourages automatic
and proper alignment.

The library contains support for two different representations of GF(2^128),
see the comment in gf128mul.h. There different levels of optimization
(memory/speed tradeoff).

The code is based on work by Dr Brian Gladman. Notable changes:
- deletion of two optimization modes
- change from u32 to u64 for faster handling on 64bit machines
- support for 'bbe' representation in addition to the, already implemented,
  'lle' representation.
- move 'inline void' functions from header to 'static void' in the
  source file
- update to use the linux coding style conventions
