Introduce BLAKE3 checksums as an OpenZFS feature
This commit adds BLAKE3 checksums to OpenZFS, it has similar
performance to Edon-R, but without the caveats around the latter.

Short description of Wikipedia:

  BLAKE3 is a cryptographic hash function based on Bao and BLAKE2,
  created by Jack O'Connor, Jean-Philippe Aumasson, Samuel Neves, and
  Zooko Wilcox-O'Hearn. It was announced on January 9, 2020, at Real
  World Crypto. BLAKE3 is a single algorithm with many desirable
  features (parallelism, XOF, KDF, PRF and MAC), in contrast to BLAKE
  and BLAKE2, which are algorithm families with multiple variants.
  BLAKE3 has a binary tree structure, so it supports a practically
  unlimited degree of parallelism (both SIMD and multithreading) given
  enough input. The official Rust and C implementations are
  dual-licensed as public domain (CC0) and the Apache License.

Along with adding the BLAKE3 hash into the OpenZFS infrastructure a
new benchmarking file called chksum_bench was introduced.  When read
it reports the speed of the available checksum functions.

On Linux: cat /proc/spl/kstat/zfs/chksum_bench
On FreeBSD: sysctl kstat.zfs.misc.chksum_bench

Structurally, the new code is mainly split into these parts:
- 1x cross platform generic c variant: blake3_generic.c
- 4x assembly for X86-64 (SSE2, SSE4.1, AVX2, AVX512)
- 2x assembly for ARMv8 (NEON converted from SSE2)
- 2x assembly for PPC64-LE (POWER8 converted from SSE2)
- one file for switching between the implementations

Note the PPC64 assembly requires the VSX instruction set and the
kfpu_begin() / kfpu_end() calls on PowerPC were updated accordingly.
