This does get compiled into something much faster than a naive version, which
you can find commented out at
https://github.com/google/adiantum/blob/master/benchmark/src/nh.c#L14.

Though, I admit that I haven't put a ton of effort into this C implementation of
NH yet. Right now it's actually somewhat of a translation of the NEON version.
I'll do some experiments and see if it can be made into something less ugly
without losing performance.

At least for now I want to use the same crypto_nhpoly1305_*_helper() functions
for all nhpoly1305 implementations, and that requires that 'nh' be a function
pointer. The helpers could be placed in a header and inlined which would turn
'nh' into a direct call, but it seemed to be too much code to inline, and
normally 'nh' is only invoked once per 1024 bytes anyway.
