* std.crypto: make ghash faster, esp. for small messages
Aggregated reduction requires 5 additional multiplications (to
precompute the powers of H), in order to save 2 multiplications
per batch.
So, only use large batches when it's actually interesting to do so.
For the last blocks, reuse the precomputations in order to perform
a single reduction.
Also, even in .ReleaseSmall, allow 2-block aggregation.
The speedup is worth it, and the code increase is reasonable.
And in .ReleaseFast, bump the upper batch size up to 16.
Leverage comptime by the way instead of duplicating code.
std/crypto/benchmark.zig on Apple M1:
Zig 0.10.0: 2769 MiB/s
Before: 6014 MiB/s
After: 7334 MiB/s
Normalize function names by the way.
* Change clmul() to accept the half to be processed
This avoids a bunch of truncate() calls.
* Add more ghash tests to check all code paths
A general-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.

License
The ultimate goal of the Zig project is to serve users. As a first-order effect, this means users of the compiler, helping programmers to write better software. Even more important, however, are the end-users.
Zig is intended to be used to help end-users accomplish their goals. Zig should be used to empower end-users, never to exploit them financially, or to limit their freedom to interact with hardware or software in any way.
However, such problems are best solved with social norms, not with software licenses. Any attempt to complicate the software license of Zig would risk compromising the value Zig provides.
Therefore, Zig is available under the MIT (Expat) License, and comes with a humble request: use it to make software better serve the needs of end-users.
This project redistributes code from other projects, some of which have other licenses besides MIT. Such licenses are generally similar to the MIT license for practical purposes. See the subdirectories and files inside lib/ for more details.
