AES-XEX is a building block for other cryptographic standards and not yet a
standard in and of itself. We'll just provide the standardized AES-XTS
algorithm, and not AES-XEX. The AES-XTS algorithm and interface provided
can be used to perform the AES-XEX algorithm when the length of the input
is a multiple of the AES block size.
XTS mode is fully known as "xor-encrypt-xor with ciphertext-stealing".
This is the generalization of the XEX mode.
This implementation is limited to an 8-bits (1 byte) boundary, which
doesn't seem to be what was thought considering some test vectors [1].
This commit comes with tests, extracted from [1], and benchmarks.
Although, benchmarks aren't really nice here, as they work with a buffer
of a multiple of 16 bytes, which isn't a challenge for XTS compared to
XEX.

The test cases come from the XTS test vectors given by the CAVP initiative
from NIST (see [1]).
As mentioned in a previous commit, XEX is a simpler case of XTS.
Therefore, to construct the test_suite_aes.xex.data file, extraction of
the XEX-possible cases has been done on the given test vectors.
All of the extracted test vectors pass the tests on a Linux x86_64 machine.

generate add ctest test-suites, with the --verbose argument to be given
to the test suites.
The verbose output will be shown **only** if ctest is run with `-v` parameter
The verbose argument is to the test-suites, only when run through `ctest`
Changes use of mklink in Windows test builds, to create junctions instead of
directory symbolic links. This removes the need for an elevated command prompt
when running cmake to create the Visual Studio project files.
The main goal with these tests is to test the bug in question and
they are not meant to test the entire PKCS#1 v1.5 behaviour. To
achieve full test coverage, further test cases are needed.
For a start, they don't even compile with Visual Studio due to strcasecmp
being missing. Secondly, on Windows Perl scripts aren't executable and have
to be run using the Perl interpreter directly; thankfully CMake is able to
find cygwin Perl straight away without problems.

Check for the host system to determine which command should be used
to create a symlink. Otherwise symlinking will fail when cross
compiling polarssl on a unix host for windows.
