As a preparatory step to allow multiple hashing APIs to exist at
the same time, split the hashing functions into one layer for generic
hashing and one layer for SHA1-specific hashing. Right now, this is
simply an additional indirection layer that doesn't yet serve any
purpose. In the future, the generic API will be extended to allow for
choosing which hash to use, though, by simply passing an enum to the
hash context initialization function. This is necessary as a first step
to be ready for Git's move to SHA256.
