Ah, it's hidden in nettle-internal.c (which is used by testcases and
benchmark only). That's because the nettle_cipher abstraction lacks a
mechanism to set the iv, which is essential for salsa20.

I think we ought to introduce something slightly different than
nettle_cipher for stream ciphers.

And if you find the _NETTLE_CIPHER* macros confusing, you don't need to
use them.
