Add hash command to perform hashing using various algorithms
This new command supports hashing SHA1 and SHA256. It could be extended to others such as MD5 and the CRC algorithms. The syntax is modeled on those: hash <algorithm> <address> <length> [*<dest_addr> | <dest_envvar>] to calculate a hash, and: hash -v <algorithm> <address> <length> [*<verify_addr> | <verify_envvar>] to verify a hash. Use CONFIG_CMD_HASH to enable the command, CONFIG_SHA1 to enable SHA1 and CONFIG_SHA256 to enable SHA256. The existing sha1sum command remains. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>

+- Hashing support:
+ CONFIG_CMD_HASH
+
+ This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
+ hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
+
+ CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
+
+ Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
+ size a little.
+
+ CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
+ CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
+
+ Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
+ be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
