Marc Tiehuis 4cf86b4a94 Add Blake2X hash functions
The truncated output variants currently are dependent on a more complete
bigint implementation in the compiler.

Marc Tiehuis 2659ac01be Add Sha2 functions
We take the fastest time measurement taken across multiple runs. Tested
across multiple compiler flags and the best chosen.

Marc Tiehuis 51fdbf7f8c Add Md5 and Sha1 hash functions
Some performance comparisons to C.

We take the fastest time measurement taken across multiple runs.

The block hashing functions use the same md5/sha1 methods.

In short, zig provides pretty useful tools for writing this sort of
code. We are in the lead against clang (which uses the same LLVM
backend) with us being slower only against md5 with GCC.
