Init, compute, and fini methods are changed to work on internal context object.
This is necessary because ABI does not guarantee that SIMD registers will be preserved
on function calls. This is technically the case in Linux kernel in between
`kfpu_begin()/kfpu_end()`, but it breaks user-space tests and some kernels that
don't require disabling preemption for using SIMD (osx).
Use scalar compute methods in-place for small buffers, and when the buffer size
does not meet SIMD size alignment.

- Benchmark memory block is increased to 128kiB to reflect real block sizes more
accurately. Measurements include all three stages needed for checksum generation,
i.e. `init()/compute()/fini()`. The inner loop is repeated multiple times to offset
overhead of time function.
- Fastest implementation selects native and byteswap methods independently in
benchmark. To support this new function pointers `init_byteswap()/fini_byteswap()`
are introduced.
- Implementation mutex lock is replaced by atomic variable.
- To save time, benchmark is not executed in userspace. Instead, highest supported
implementation is used for fastest. Default userspace selector is still 'cycle'.
- `fletcher_4_native/byteswap()` methods use incremental methods to finish
calculation if data size is not multiple of vector stride (currently 64B).
- Added `fletcher_4_native_varsize()` special purpose method for use when buffer size
is not known in advance. The method does not enforce 4B alignment on buffer size, and
will ignore last (size % 4) bytes of the data buffer.
- Benchmark `kstat` is changed to match the one of vdev_raidz. It now shows
throughput for all supported implementations (in B/s), native and byteswap,
as well as the code [fastest] is running.
