Simple test and benchmark for various SHA1 and AES implementations

The goal is to compare and benchmark various implementations of the SHA1 hash algorithm and the AES cipher

Frameworks/APIs tested:

  1. Qt 5.15 / QCryptoGraphicHash; plain C/C++

  2. libtomcrypt; plain C (some ASM but disabled); as used currently in https://github.com/status-im/go-sqlcipher

  3. OpenSSL; C/ASM/intrinsics

  4. git-sha1; plain C; (as used in Linux kernel)

  5. nayuki; highly optimized C and ASM

  6. intrinsics - using Intel SHA/ARM Neon extensions; C/ASM, highly optimized

  7. and finally, libtomcrypt_new which replaces the C-based sha1_compress subroutine with optimized versions from intrinsics (SHA/Neon) plus a fallback from nayuki

For AES:

  1. libtomcrypt; plain C (some ASM but disabled); as used currently in https://github.com/status-im/go-sqlcipher
  2. OpenSSL; C/ASM/intrinsics
