NEW libb2

Enclosed with this mail a tarball for libb2 a C library providing BLAKE2b,
BLAKE2s, BLAKE2bp, and BLAKE2sp. BLAKE2 is a cryptographic hash function
faster than MD5, SHA-1, SHA-2, and SHA-3, yet is at least as secure as the
latest standard SHA-3.

Borgbackup currently uses a bundled version of libb2. I would like to replace
use of this bundled version by this port.

Comments/OKs?
