It's available in the master branch that should be released as 1.1
in a few months.  It will not be backported to the 1.0.2 branch.

Also, chacha20 still doesn't have an RFC, it's still just a draft,
with the last draft only 2 weeks old.

There are older implementations available that implemented
something based on chacha20 but things have changed and they are
not compatible.
