SHA-1 is weak and we need to transition to a new hash function.  For
some time, we have referred to this new function as NewHash.  Recently,
we decided to pick SHA-256 as NewHash.

Add a basic implementation of SHA-256 based off libtomcrypt, which is in
the public domain.  Optimize it and restructure it to meet our coding
standards.  Pull in the update and final functions from the SHA-1 block
implementation, as we know these function correctly with all compilers.
This implementation is slower than SHA-1, but more performant
implementations will be introduced in future commits.

Wire up SHA-256 in the list of hash algorithms, and add a test that the
algorithm works correctly.

Note that with this patch, it is still not possible to switch to using
SHA-256 in Git.  Additional patches are needed to prepare the code to
handle a larger hash algorithm and further test fixes are needed.

this shouldn't be needed and might be discouraged as per the
instructions in Documentation/CodingGuidelines

Maybe remove unnecessary brackets above and below.

Spurious new line.

Maybe remove unnecessary brackets and use "+=", like:

       for (i = 0; i < 8; i++)
               ctx->state[i] += S[i];

This may not strictly be needed, but removing it makes the header no
longer self-contained, which blows up my (and others') in-editor
linting.  I think it's okay to add this extra header here to keep it
self-contained, even if we know that it's not going to be absolutely
required.

That sounds like bending backwards to please tools, though.  Can't
these in-editor linting learn the local rules of the codebase they
are asked to operate on?

Doing so involves writing (in my case) Vim code to configure settings
for this repo.

Since language linting tools invoke compilers and other language
runtimes, you need to specify command-line arguments to those tools, and
in general, that's not a safe thing you can read from the repository
configuration, since just viewing files should not be able to execute
arbitrary code[0].  Languages such as Perl which can execute arbitrary
code with compile checks have to be enabled explicitly with ALE (which
is what I'm using).

I need to do a reroll to address some other issues people brought up, so
I can remove this line.

[0] Pass "-o .bashrc" to the preprocessor, for example.

OK.  I actually do not feel too strongly about this one, by the way.
