Hardware AES-GCM encryption support on mobile and desktop

complete

Tom Raganowicz

Currently when E2E is used file transfer speeds are extremely reduced due to current software AES-GCM implementation. 
We already use hardware acceleration on Web.
This task is to implement hardware support on both mobile and desktop.

As of 1.0.21 hardware decryption is available for files <= 100MB on Android, Windows and Linux. On iOS and MacOS hardware AES-GCM support will be added or we will add it already once new cipher: https://s3drive.canny.io/feature-requests/p/support-for-xchacha20-poly1305 gets implemented, whichever comes sooner.
