Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] lib/crypto: tests: Add KUnit tests for AES

Add a KUnit test suite for AES library functions, including KAT and
benchmarks. The functional tests do a very minimal verification of the
AES operation for each key-size. The benchmarks, which are also part
of the test-suite, can be used to get some rough performance
measurements of the AES operations. The key preparation API
performance is not covered by the benchmarks.
