[tcpip] Do not fall back to using unoptimised TCP/IP checksumming
Require architecture-specific code to make a deliberate choice to use
the unoptimised generic_tcpip_continue_chksum() function, if there is
no optimised version available.

[tcpip] Add faster algorithm for calculating the TCP/IP checksum
The generic TCP/IP checksum implementation requires approximately 10
CPU clocks per byte (as measured using the TSC). Improve this to
approximately 0.5 CPU clocks per byte by using "lodsl ; adcl" in an
unrolled loop.

[tcpip] Allow for architecture-specific TCP/IP checksum routines
Calculating the TCP/IP checksum on received packets accounts for a
substantial fraction of the response latency.
