aegis128l.c preprocessed for ARM32, gzipped

Building the Linux kernel, I stumbled over an unusally large stack usage in the
aegis128l Authenticated-Encryption algorithm. Digging a bit deeper, I noticed a
few more things about this file that seem to all have the same root cause:

- compilation takes a whole 8.4 seconds of CPU time, compared with 0.5 seconds
using gcc
- the assembler output is 95288 lines, compared to 2324 lines with gcc
- the largest stack usage is 1664, compared to 256 bytes
- marking the innermost functions (crypto_aegis_block_xor,
crypto_aegis_block_and, crypto_aegis_aesenc) as __attribute__((always_inline))
addresses most of the above issues, the results (build time, stack usage and
amount of generated code) are all still worse than using gcc, but 10x better
than before.
