format message digest as hex string directly without snprintf() ok op

add some helper functions to compute hashes This adds a set of functions to abstract over SHA1Init, SHA1Update, SHA1Final, their respective SHA256 variants and how to compare digests. Replace all the SHA1*() usage with the new APIs. It's a preparatory step for sha256 handling. ok stsp@

provide functions to parse/serialize different hashes it abstracts over the hash type and ensures that object ids are zero'ed before their sha1 digest is written. Needed by the incoming sha256 support. ok stsp@

rename lib/sha1.c to lib/hash.c It will soon grow functions to deal with sha256 too. stsp@ agrees.
