Hi Hans, thanks for doing this!

I'm a little concerned that the only sha256 lib function which sha256_generic.c
calls is sha256_transform().  This means that sha256_init(), sha256_update(),
and sha256_final() are not tested by the crypto self-tests.  They could be
broken and we wouldn't know.

IMO, it would be better to make sha256_generic.c use sha256_init(),
sha256_update(), and sha256_final() rather than using sha256_base.h.
Then we'd get test coverage of both the sha256 lib, and of sha256_base.h
via the architecture-specific implementations.

To do this you'll also need to add sha224_init(), sha224_update(), and
sha224_final().  But that's straightforward.

- Eric
