Add a feature to tor-llcrypto to enable sha-1/asm.

SHA1 is a reasonably large part of our CPU usage (sigh), and this
implementation is 20-50% faster, depending on arch.

//! Cryptographic _traits_ (like those from RustCrypto) don't have to
//! go in `tor-llcrypto`, since they are interfaces rather than

//! # Features
//!
//! ## API features
//!
//! `relay` -- enable cryptography that's only used on relays.
//!
//! `hsv3-client` -- enable cryptography that's only needed when running
//! as a v3 onion service client.
//! `hsv3-client` -- enable cryptography that's only needed when running as a v3
//! onion service client.
//!
//! ## Acceleration features
//!
//! These features should never be enabled by default from libraries, since they
//! are not "strictly additive": they disable one implementation in order to
//! enable another.
//!
//! `with-openssl` -- Use `openssl` as the backend for those cryptographic
//! features it supports.
//!
//! `with-sha1-asm` -- Use an assembly implementation of the sha1 algorithm, if
//! one is enabled.
