[RFC PATCH] crypto: chacha20 - add implementation using 96-bit nonce

As pointed out by Eric [0], the way RFC7539 was interpreted when creating
our implementation of ChaCha20 creates a risk of IV reuse when using a
little endian counter as the IV generator. The reason is that the low end
bits of the counter get mapped onto the ChaCha20 block counter, which
advances every 64 bytes. This means that the counter value that gets
selected as IV for the next input block will collide with the ChaCha20
block counter of the previous block, basically recreating the same
keystream but shifted by 64 bytes.
RFC7539 describes the inputs of the algorithm as follows:
The inputs to ChaCha20 are:
o A 256-bit key
o A 32-bit initial counter. This can be set to any number, but will
usually be zero or one. It makes sense to use one if we use the
zero block for something else, such as generating a one-time
authenticator key as part of an AEAD algorithm.
o A 96-bit nonce. In some protocols, this is known as the
Initialization Vector.
o An arbitrary-length plaintext
The solution is to use a fixed value of 0 for the initial counter, and
only expose a 96-bit IV to the upper layers of the crypto API.
So introduce a new ChaCha20 flavor called chacha20-iv96, which takes the
above into account, and should become the preferred ChaCha20
implementation going forward for general use.
