This patch adds AVX optimized XTS-mode helper functions/macros and converts
serpent-avx to use the new facilities. Benefits are slightly improved speed
and reduced stack usage as use of temporary IV-array is avoided.

Introduce new assembler functions to avoid use temporary stack buffers in
glue code. This also allows use of vector instructions for xoring output
in CTR and CBC modes and construction of IVs for CTR mode.
ECB mode sees ~0.5% decrease in speed because added one extra function
call. CBC mode decryption and CTR mode benefit from vector operations
and gain ~2%.
