    wolfssl: disable AES-NI by default for x86_64
    
    WolfSSL is crashing with an illegal opcode in some x86_64 CPUs that have
    AES instructions but lack other extensions that are used by WolfSSL
    when AES-NI is enabled.
    
    Disable the option by default for now until the issue is properly fixed.
    People can enable them in a custom build if they are sure it will work
    for them.
