ChaCha20-Poly1305 is the preferred cipher on platforms lacking hardware AES acceleration, which is common on embedded targets. Adding this ciphersuite allows Zephyr devices to negotiate it when connecting to servers that support it (e.g. nginx, OpenSSL), avoiding a fallback to AES-based suites.

Chachapoly offer better performances than the other ciphers. It make sense to have it in the downstream.
