Add an implementation of AES-128 using SSSE3 instructions. It runs in
constant time and on a Nehalem is significantly faster than the table based version. This implementation technique was invented by Mike Hamburg and described in a paper in CHES 2009 "Accelerating AES with Vector Permute Instructions". This code is basically a translation of his public domain x86-64 assembly code into intrinsics. Todo: Adding support for AES-192 and AES-256; this just requires implementing the key schedules. Currently only tested on an i7 with GCC (32 and 64 bit code); testing/optimization on 32-bit processors with SSSE3 like the Atom, and with Visual C++ and other compilers, are also todos.
