Summary: sha and md5 modules should use OpenSSL when possible

Initial Comment:
The md5 and sha (sha1) modules should use OpenSSL for
the algorithms when it is available as its
implementations are much faster than pythons own.

Attached is an initial patch to use OpenSSL for the sha
module.  Its not ready for committing as is yet, but it is
setup to be a generic base for all OpenSSL hashes with
a little bit of work in the future.  Tossing this out
there for people to see how trivial it is and enjoy the
speedups.

diff is against HEAD but it should apply to 2.4 just fine.
