[issue17436] pass a string to hashlib.update

[anatoly techtonik]

New submission from anatoly techtonik:

http://docs.python.org/3/library/hashlib#hashlib.hash.update

The hashlib is most useful for big chunks of data, and that means every time you need to create a wrapper for reading from files. It makes sense to allow hashlib.update accept file like object to read from.
