crypto/{cipher,tls,internal/cryptohw}: prioritise AES-GCM when hardware support is present.

Browse Source 
Support for ChaCha20-Poly1305 ciphers was recently added to crypto/tls.
These ciphers are preferable in software, but they cannot beat hardware
support for AES-GCM, if present.

This change moves detection for hardware AES-GCM support into
cipher/internal/cipherhw so that it can be used from crypto/tls. Then,
when AES-GCM hardware is present, the AES-GCM cipher suites are
prioritised by default in crypto/tls. (Some servers, such as Google,
respect the client's preference between AES-GCM and ChaCha20-Poly1305.)

Fixes #17779.
