The native non-SIMD implementation provides minor improvement when compared to the Go version. Given that SHANI is widely available these days, that version is being removed to decrease codebase complexity. Signed-off-by: Paulo Gomes <pjbgf@linux.com>
The initial motivation for introducing native implementation for the UBC checks, was to act as a stepping stone on a fully native implementation of sha1cd. That is no longer being pursued, for two main reasons: - The non-trivial complexity that comes with a full-on goasm version with collision detection, which would make it harder to maintain/debug the project. - The recently added SIMD implementations made the project reasonably fast for the core supported architectures (arm64 and amd64). It is important to also note that the performance gained with the native UBC versions were minor, certainly not worth the complexity they added to the project.

This implementation is roughly 30% faster:
