crypto: x86/aes - drop scalar assembler implementations

Browse Source 
The AES assembler code for x86 isn't actually faster than code
generated by the compiler from aes_generic.c, and considering
the disproportionate maintenance burden of assembler code on
x86, it is better just to drop it entirely. Modern x86 systems
will use AES-NI anyway, and given that the modules being removed
have a dependency on aes_generic already, we can remove them
without running the risk of regressions.

AES cipher algorithms (FIPS-197). AES uses the Rijndael
algorithm.
Rijndael appears to be consistently a very good performer in
both hardware and software across a wide range of computing
environments regardless of its use in feedback or non-feedback
modes. Its key setup time is excellent, and its key agility is
good. Rijndael's very low memory requirements make it very well
suited for restricted-space environments, in which it also
demonstrates excellent performance. Rijndael's operations are
among the easiest to defend against power and timing attacks.
The AES specifies three key sizes: 128, 192 and 256 bits
