Revert "crypto: twofish - add AVX2/x86_64 assembler implementation of twofish cipher"
This reverts commit cf1521a1a5e21fd1e79a458605c4282fbfbbeee2. Instruction (vpgatherdd) that this implementation relied on turned out to be slow performer on real hardware (i5-4570). The previous 8-way twofish/AVX implementation is therefore faster and this implementation should be removed. Converting this implementation to use the same method as in twofish/AVX for table look-ups would give additional ~3% speed up vs twofish/AVX, but would hardly be worth of the added code and binary size.

- Twofish cipher algorithm (x86_64/AVX2).
-
- Twofish was submitted as an AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)
- candidate cipher by researchers at CounterPane Systems. It is a
- 16 round block cipher supporting key sizes of 128, 192, and 256
- bits.
