Summary

When running on a CPU that supports the arm64 sha256 intrinsics use them
to improve perfromance of sha256 calculations.

With this changethe following improvement has been seen on an Apple M1
with FreeBS running under Parallels, with similar results on a
Neoverse-N1 r3p1.

Phabricator doesn't like the ministat plot so I've copied it here:

I might throw this in a header file.

202

Static?

andrew added inline comments.
sys/crypto/sha2/sha256c.c
199

The only reason I didn't is because I didn't want to add it to sha256.h as it shouldn't be used outside of this code and I didn't want to create a new header just for 2 lines.

Create a new header for the SHA256_Transform_arm64_impl signature
