lib/crypto: sha256: Remove sha256_blocks_simd()
Instead of having both sha256_blocks_arch() and sha256_blocks_simd(), instead have just sha256_blocks_arch() which uses the most efficient implementation that is available in the calling context. This is simpler, as it reduces the API surface. It's also safer, since sha256_blocks_arch() just works in all contexts, including contexts where the FPU/SIMD/vector registers cannot be used. This doesn't mean that SHA-256 computations *should* be done in such contexts, but rather we should just do the right thing instead of corrupting a random task's registers. Eliminating this footgun and simplifying the code is well worth the very small performance cost of doing the check. Note: in the case of arm and arm64, what used to be sha256_blocks_arch() is renamed back to its original name of sha256_block_data_order(). sha256_blocks_arch() is now used for the higher-level dispatch function. This renaming also required an update to lib/crypto/arm64/sha512.h, since sha2-armv8.pl is shared by both SHA-256 and SHA-512.
