Add an OpenSSL backend to the checksum input stream, which is where we do a lot
of checksumming (object commit, static deltas).
The raw OpenSSL performance is
[approximately double](https://gist.github.com/cgwalters/169349fd1c06fd4fb4d3a7ce33303222) on
my laptop; not only does OpenSSL have e.g. hand-tuned x86_64 assembly, the
current implementation uses the
[Intel SHA extensions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_SHA_extensions).
Another reason to do this is I was idly thinking about adding
[Curve25519](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve25519) signatures (like e.g.
Alpine does) instead of/in addition to GPG. The rationale for that is
that GPG is pretty heavyweight, both in code footprint and the simple
fact that EC keys are way smaller.
I didn't benchmark ostree with this; we have bigger performance problems
really like the fact we just malloc way too much. But, it's a step
in the right direction I think in combination with the libcurl work
where we're linking to openssl anyways.

This can be used as a fingerprint to determine whether two
OstreeSePolicy objects are equivalent.
Also add documentation for ostree_sepolicy_get_name().

For Fedora and potentially other distributions which use globally
distributed mirrors, metalink is a popular solution to redirect
clients to a dynamic set of mirrors.
In order to make metalink work though, it needs *one* file which can
be checksummed. (Well, potentially we could explode all refs into the
metalink.xml, but that would be a lot more invasive, and a bit weird
as we'd end up checksumming the checksum file).
This commit adds a new command:
$ ostree summary -u
To regenerate the summary file. Can only be run by one process at a
time.
After that's done, the metalink can be generated based on it, and the
client fetch code will parse and load it.

Don't expose GChecksum in APIs. Add a new stream class which allows
us to pass an input stream somewhere, but gather a checksum as it's
read.
Move some bits of the internals towards binary csums.
