crypto: chacha20-generic - refactor to allow varying number of rounds
In preparation for adding XChaCha12 support, rename/refactor chacha20-generic to support different numbers of rounds. The justification for needing XChaCha12 support is explained in more detail in the patch "crypto: chacha - add XChaCha12 support". The only difference between ChaCha{8,12,20} are the number of rounds itself; all other parts of the algorithm are the same. Therefore, remove the "20" from all definitions, structures, functions, files, etc. that will be shared by all ChaCha versions. Also make ->setkey() store the round count in the chacha_ctx (previously chacha20_ctx). The generic code then passes the round count through to chacha_block(). There will be a ->setkey() function for each explicitly allowed round count; the encrypt/decrypt functions will be the same. I decided not to do it the opposite way (same ->setkey() function for all round counts, with different encrypt/decrypt functions) because that would have required more boilerplate code in architecture-specific implementations of ChaCha and XChaCha.
