README: replace openssl-gcm.md with link to wiki

Browse Source 
The CPU-Benchmarks wiki page has a lot more info
than openssl-gcm.md had.

Go builtin GCM vs OpenSSL
=========================
OpenSSL is over four times faster than Go's built-in GCM implementation.
```
$ cd internal/stupidgcm
$ go test -bench .
