Enable ed25519-donna's SSE2 code when possible for 32 bit x86.

This probably requires the user to manually set CFLAGS, but should
result in a net gain on 32 bit x86. Enabling SSE2 support would be
possible on x86_64, but will result in slower performance.

Implements feature #16535.

o Minor features (performance)
- Improve the runtime speed of Ed25519 operations and Curve25519 keypair
generation when built targeting 32 bit x86 platforms with SSE2
available. Implements ticket 16535.

* On non-x86 targets, GCC's Stack Protector dislikes variables that have
alignment constraints greater than that of other primitive types.
The `ALIGN` macro is thus no-oped for all non-SSE2 builds.
* On 32 bit x86 targets that the compiler thinks supports SSE2, always
enable SSE2 support by force defining ED25519_SSE2 (x86_64 would also
always support this, but that code path is slower).
