Make Salsa20 variable-round, allowing for Salsa20/12 to be used for Packet encrypt and decrypt. Profiling analysis found that Salsa20 encrypt was accounting for a nontrivial percentage of CPU time, so it makes sense to cut this load fundamentally. There are no published attacks against Salsa20/12, and DJB believes 20 rounds to be overkill. This should be more than enough for our needs. Obviously incorporating ASM Salsa20 is among the next steps for performance.
