Improve support on Linux and X (s390x) #131

@hannesm

Description

@hannesm

From #129 (comment) instead of the expensive STCK, the less expensive STCKF could be used (if it meets our needs, namely being not easy to predict). Additionally, performance measurements should be taken.

PRNG support (atm using rdrand/rdseed on x86) should be improved with the PRNO instruction (see #129 (comment)) on s390x (and potentially on arm & riscv using some special instructions as well).

Also, various platforms have extended hash & cipher support now (x86 has sha2 instructions, arm has multiple of them, s390x has poly1305, ...).
