AES-GCM ARM: Don't use hardware AES/GCM on 32-bit ARM. #2044

It used to be somewhat common to run 32-bit ARM apps on Aarch64 CPUs, especially for Android, but nowadays that is not the case. Thus the hardware implementations are pretty much dead code. Having them enabled also complicated the testing situation.
