Speedup of about 1.4x on x64. Added benchmarks that use the
ShakeHash interface, which doesn't require copying the state.
Unaligned or generic xorIn and copyOut functions chosen via
buildline, but both are tested.
Substantial contributions from Eric Eisner.
See golang.org/cl/151630044 for the previous CR.
(There are also some minor edits/additions to the documentation.)

1. API:
This exposes a minimal API: the SHA-3 functions implement hash.Hash. The
SHAKE functions implement a new "ShakeHash" interface that implements
io.Reader, io.Writer, and Reset().
(The previous Barrier() function has been removed.)
(Alternative proposal: Don't implement io.Reader, but instead provide a
"Digest(d []byte) error" function that performs a hash.Hash style copy.
Somewhat more minimal, but very easy to use incorrectly.)
2. Tests
Added the complete set of ShortMsgKATs from
https://github.com/gvanas/KeccakCodePackage
3. Correctness
In sync with draft FIPS-202.
4. Documentation
A summary of the security properties of the SHA-3 and SHAKE functions is
provided in doc.go; some concrete recommendations as well.
Fixes 8563.
