poly1305: rewrite the Go implementation with 64-bit limbs

The new code is meant to be readable without external references for
Poly1305, and explains the field logic. The generic code is now 30-50%
faster on a Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2690 v3 @ 2.60GHz, and even better
on a 3.1 GHz i7 MacBook.

The assembly is still 50-90% faster on the Xeon, 30-60% on the MacBook.
The Go code does not use all the arithmetic tricks the assembly does,
and it does not have access to the three operand wide shift instruction.

Hopefully this will also avoid the need for an arm64 implementation.

Since now the Go and the amd64/ppc64le assembly use the same limb
schedule, drop the assembly initialize and finalize implementations,
and make the wrapper code match. It comes with a minor slowdown.

Since poly1305/sum_generic.go was almost entirely rewritten, it's
probably best reviewed on gitiles.
