crypto/elliptic: add s390x assembly implementation of NIST P-256 Curve
A paranoid go at constant time implementation of P256 curve.
This code relies on z13 SIMD instruction set. For zEC12 and below,
the fallback is the existing P256 implementation. To facilitate this
fallback mode, I've refactored the code so that implementations can
be picked at run-time.
Its 'slightly' difficult to grok, but there is ASCII art..
