xts: reduce tweak allocations

The call to k2.Encrypt causes tweak to escape to the heap, resulting
in a 16-byte allocation for each call to Encrypt/Decrypt. Moving
tweak into the Cipher struct would allow it to be reused, but this
is ruled out by the Cipher docstring, which states that it is safe
for concurrent use. Instead, manage tweak arrays with a sync.Pool.
Benchmarks indicate that this amortizes allocation cost without
impacting performance.
