Remove build-time check for stdsimd feature (#183)

* Remove build-time check for `stdsimd` feature

This is blocking rust-lang/rust#117372, which replaces `stdsimd` with
more fine-grained features. However the auto-detection in aHash breaks
when bootstrapping Rust because it detects the `stdsimd` feature on the
old toolchain which is not present on the newly build libcore.

This PR removes the build-time detection of the `stdsimd` feature and
instead just uses the ARM AES intrinsics directly since they are now
stable, but only on AArch64.

 This is done using the [getrandom](https://github.com/rust-random/getrandom) crate.
 * `compile-time-rng`: For OS targets without access to a random number generator, `compile-time-rng` provides an alternative.
 If `getrandom` is unavailable and `compile-time-rng` is enabled, aHash will generate random numbers at compile time and embed them in the binary.
+* `nightly-arm-aes`: To use AES instructions on 32-bit ARM, which requires nightly. This is not needed on AArch64.
 This allows for DOS resistance even if there is no random number generator available at runtime (assuming the compiled binary is not public).
 This makes the binary non-deterministic. (If non-determinism is a problem see [constrandom's documentation](https://github.com/tkaitchuck/constrandom#deterministic-builds))
