crypto: x86/aes-gcm - remove VAES+AVX10/256 optimized code

Remove the VAES+AVX10/256 optimized implementation of AES-GCM.

It's no longer expected to be useful for future CPUs, since Intel
changed the AVX10 specification to require 512-bit vectors.

In addition, it's no longer very useful to serve as the 256-bit fallback
for older Intel CPUs (Ice Lake and Tiger Lake) that downclock too
eagerly when 512-bit vectors are used.  This is because I ended up
writing another 256-bit implementation anyway, using VAES+AVX2.  The
VAES+AVX2 implementation is almost as fast as the VAES+AVX10/256 one, as
shown by the following tables.  So, let's just use it instead.

Table 1: AES-256-GCM encryption throughput change,
         CPU vs. message length in bytes:

                      | 16384 |  4096 |  4095 |  1420 |   512 |   500 |
----------------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
Intel Ice Lake Server |   -2% |   -1% |    0% |   -2% |   -2% |    3% |

                      |   300 |   200 |    64 |    63 |    16 |
----------------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
Intel Ice Lake Server |    1% |    0% |    4% |    2% |   -6% |

Table 2: AES-256-GCM decryption throughput change,
         CPU vs. message length in bytes:

                      | 16384 |  4096 |  4095 |  1420 |   512 |   500 |
----------------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
Intel Ice Lake Server |   -1% |   -1% |    1% |   -2% |    0% |    2% |

                      |   300 |   200 |    64 |    63 |    16 |
----------------------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+
Intel Ice Lake Server |   -1% |    4% |    1% |    0% |   -5% |
