keccak: remove the portable SIMD backend? #114

@newpavlov

Description

@newpavlov

The portable SIMD implementation requires a Nightly compiler and could be useful only for algorithms which are able to use parallel processing. Additionally, users have to specify desired SIMD width manually, which is pretty inconvenient and likely to be done extremely rarely.

Thus I think it may be worth to remove the portable SIMD support completely. At the very least, until portable SIMD is stabilized and there will be a clear picture on how to select optimal SIMD width at runtime.
