[PATCH v2 11/13] sha256: add an SHA-256 implementation using libgcrypt

["brian m. carlson" <sandals@crustytoothpaste.net>]

Generally, one gets better performance out of cryptographic routines
written in assembly than C, and this is also true for SHA-256.  In
addition, most Linux distributions cannot distribute Git linked against
OpenSSL for licensing reasons.

Most systems with GnuPG will also have libgcrypt, since it is a
dependency of GnuPG.  libgcrypt is also faster than the SHA1DC
implementation for messages of a few KiB and larger. It is licensed
under the LGPL 2.1, which is compatible with the GPL.

Add an implementation of SHA-256 that uses libgcrypt.
