8f5c2a613d Prefer Go stdlib aes-gcm on arm64 with aes instructions
We used to prefer openssl in this situation, which
used to make sense, but now Go gained an optimized
assembly implementation for aes-gcm on arm64 with
aes instructions:

d5ce340c02 merge prefer_openssl package into stupidgcm
Now that I have discovered golang.org/x/sys/cpu and that Go
versions below 1.6 are uncommon, there was not much useful
code left in prefer_openssl.

Merge the remains into stupidgcm.
