The strategy of "cleanup under-aligned buffers" is not scaling well. Corner cases are still turing up. The library has some corner-case breaks, like old 32-bit Intels. And it still has not solved the AltiVec and Power8 alignment problems.
For now we are backing out the changes and investigating other strategies

This commit supports the upcoming AltiVec and Power8 processor support for stream ciphers. This commit affects GlobalRNG() most because its an AES-based generator. The commit favors AlignedSecByteBlock over SecByteBlock in places where messages are handled on the AltiVec and Power8 processor data paths. The data paths include all block cipher modes of operation, and some filters like FilterWithBufferedInput.
Intel and ARM processors are tolerant of under-aligned buffers when using crypto instructions. AltiVec and Power8 are less tolerant, and they simply ignore the three low-order bits to ensure an address is aligned. The AltiVec and Power8 have caused a fair number of wild writes on the stack and in the heap.
Testing on a 64-bit Intel Skylake show a marked improvement in performance. We suspect GCC is generating better code since it knows the alignment of the pointers, and does not have to emit fixup code for under-aligned and mis-aligned data. Testing on an mid-2000s 32-bit VIA C7-D with SSE2+SSSE3 showed no improvement, and no performance was lost.

We have made a fair number of changes, and we don't want WD to receive credit for issues he was not part of

trap.h and CRYPTOPP_ASSERT has existed for over a year in Master. We deferred on the cut-over waiting for a minor version bump (5.7). We have to use it now due to CVE-2016-7420

- added AuthenticatedSymmetricCipher interface class and Filter wrappers
- added CCM, GCM (with SSE2 assembly), CMAC, and SEED
- improved AES speed on x86 and x64
- removed WORD64_AVAILABLE; compiler 64-bit int support is now required
