mbedtls_aes_crypt_xts() currently takes a `bits_length` parameter, unlike
the other block modes. Change the parameter to accept a bytes length
instead, as the `bits_length` parameter is not actually ever used in the
current implementation.
Add a new context structure for XTS. Adjust the API for XTS to use the new
context structure, including tests suites and the benchmark program. Update
Doxgen documentation accordingly.
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.

XEX mode, known as "xor-encrypt-xor", is the simple case of the XTS
mode, known as "XEX with ciphertext stealing". When the buffers to be
encrypted/decrypted have a length divisible by the length of a standard
AES block (16), XTS is exactly like XEX.
Clarify the roles of the buffer parameter and their sizes.
Remove a statement about input size restrictions that only applies to
mbedtls_gcm_update, not to the whole-message functions.
Document the possible error codes.
Warn that mbedtls_gcm_crypt_and_tag in decrypt mode does not
authenticate the data and recommend using mbedtls_gcm_auth_decrypt
instead.
Fix IAR compiler warnings
Two warnings have been fixed:
1. code 'if( len <= 0xFFFFFFFF )' gave warning 'pointless integer comparison'.
This was fixed by wraping the condition in '#if SIZE_MAX > 0xFFFFFFFF'.
2. code 'diff |= A[i] ^ B[i];' gave warning 'the order of volatile accesses is undefined in'.
This was fixed by read the volatile data in temporary variables before the computation.
