[v2,0/2] help: include SHA build options in version info

Message

Greetings,

Additional information regarding how Git was built can be found via the
`--build-options` flag for git-version(1). This currently does not
include information about the SHA-1 and SHA-256 implementations Git is
built with.

This short series adds build option info for the SHA-1, SHA-256, and
non-crypto-SHA-1 (if any) implementations which may be useful for
diagnostic purposes

Changes since V1:

        - Each SHA backend is expected to define either `SHA1_BACKEND`,
          `SHA1_UNSAFE_BACKEND`, or `SHA256_BACKEND` as appropriate.
          These symbols are then used to print the SHA build options in
          the additional version info.

        - The names of the build options are used instead of
          human-readable names.

        - Appended "(No collision detection)" to warn about SHA1
          backends without collision detection.

        - Renamed "unsafe-SHA-1" to "non-crypto-SHA-1" in the printed
          build options.

        - Small updates to documentation.

Thanks,
-Justin
