Currently cSHAKE uses SHA-3. Code of SHA-3 was imported from golang (as implementing cSHAKE on top of public interfaces was hard/impossible to do).
cSHAKE is needed only for current version of SIKE. Nevertheless, it shouldn't be needed in the future, which means we don't need to keep copy of SHA-3 in CIRCL.

I've finally managed to upstream cSHAKE to x/crypto, so SHA-3 is now really not needed in CIRCL
Looking at the SHA-3 code in x/crypto more deeply I would prefer we re-write it. Code has some fundamental issues. Keccak part looks OK, so it can be reused
