Restore the len >= 288 condition on using the AVX implementation, which
was incidentally removed by commit 318c53ae02f2 ("crypto: x86/poly1305 -
Add block-only interface"). This check took into account the overhead
in key power computation, kernel-mode "FPU", and tail handling
associated with the AVX code. Indeed, restoring this check slightly
improves performance for len < 256 as measured using poly1305_kunit on
an "AMD Ryzen AI 9 365" (Zen 5) CPU:

While the optimal threshold for this CPU might be slightly lower than
288 (see the len == 256 case), other CPUs would need to be tested too,
and these sorts of benchmarks can underestimate the true cost of
kernel-mode "FPU". Therefore, for now just restore the 288 threshold.

Restore the SIMD usability check and base conversion that were removed
by commit 318c53ae02f2 ("crypto: x86/poly1305 - Add block-only
interface").
This safety check is cheap and is well worth eliminating a footgun.
While the Poly1305 functions should not be called when SIMD registers
are unusable, if they are anyway, they should just do the right thing
instead of corrupting random tasks' registers and/or computing incorrect
MACs. Fixing this is also needed for poly1305_kunit to pass.
Just use irq_fpu_usable() instead of the original crypto_simd_usable(),
since poly1305_kunit won't rely on crypto_simd_disabled_for_test.

Move the contents of arch/x86/lib/crypto/ into lib/crypto/x86/.
The new code organization makes a lot more sense for how this code
actually works and is developed. In particular, it makes it possible to
build each algorithm as a single module, with better inlining and dead
code elimination. For a more detailed explanation, see the patchset
which did this for the CRC library code:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250607200454.73587-1-ebiggers@kernel.org/.
Also see the patchset which did this for SHA-512:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-crypto/20250616014019.415791-1-ebiggers@kernel.org/
This is just a preparatory commit, which does the move to get the files
into their new location but keeps them building the same way as before.
Later commits will make the actual improvements to the way the
arch-optimized code is integrated for each algorithm.
Add a gitignore entry for the removed directory arch/x86/lib/crypto/ so
that people don't accidentally commit leftover generated files.
