g: rework DCRYPTO_app_cipher (AES-CTR) for speed

The previous implementation of DCRYPTO_app_cipher
consumed roughly 16ms to cipher a 16kB buffer
(i.e. performance that is far worse than the
hardware is capable of).

This change speeds up the implementation by about
85%, to the tune of roughly 2.2ms for a 16kB buffer.

The gains originate from various sources: loop
unrolling, data-pipelining, eliminating local
variables (to reduce register pressure), eliminating
support for unaligned input/output data, compiling
hot code with -O (rather the default -Os), and
using the hidden key-ladder, which need only be
setup once per reset.

This change also switches from AES-128 to AES-256.
