commonlib: Add generic word-at-a-time optimization to ipchksum()

This patch adds a generic optimization to calculate a machine-word-sized
"wide sum" for the ipchksum() algorithm. This is often not as
efficient as handcrafted assembly (about half as fast on arm64 and
x86_32, about the same speed on x86_64), but likely still much better
than nothing on architectures that we don't have handcrafted assembly
for.
