crypto: gf128mul - rename the byte overflow tables

Though the GF(2^128) byte overflow tables were named the "lle" and "bbe"
tables, they are not actually tied to these element formats
specifically, but rather to particular a "bit endianness".  For example,
the bbe table is actually used for both bbe and ble multiplication.
Therefore, rename the tables to "le" and "be" and update the comment to
explain this.

+ * Given a value i in 0..255 as the byte overflow when a field element
+ * in GF(2^128) is multiplied by x^8, the following macro returns the
+ * 16-bit value that must be XOR-ed into the low-degree end of the
+ * product to reduce it modulo the polynomial x^128 + x^7 + x^2 + x + 1.
+ *
+ * There are two versions of the macro, and hence two tables: one for
+ * the "be" convention where the highest-order bit is the coefficient of
+ * the highest-degree polynomial term, and one for the "le" convention
+ * where the highest-order bit is the coefficient of the lowest-degree
+ * polynomial term.  In both cases the values are stored in CPU byte
+ * endianness such that the coefficients are ordered consistently across
+ * bytes, i.e. in the "be" table bits 15..0 of the stored value
+ * correspond to the coefficients of x^15..x^0, and in the "le" table
+ * bits 15..0 correspond to the coefficients of x^0..x^15.
+ *
+ * Therefore, provided that the appropriate byte endianness conversions
+ * are done by the multiplication functions (and these must be in place
+ * anyway to support both little endian and big endian CPUs), the "be"
+ * table can be used for multiplications of both "bbe" and "ble"
+ * elements, and the "le" table can be used for multiplications of both
+ * "lle" and "lbe" elements.
