[issue26488] hashlib command line interface

[Aviv Palivoda]

Aviv Palivoda added the comment:

I am adding a new patch with changes from Martin CR (Thanks for the review) and support in the "check" option.
I also changed to examples in the Documentation to use sha256 instead of md5 as Christian asked. I left one example with sha1 so when someone read it he will see that other algorithms are supported.
As for the multi-threading feature I checked on my PC and I never reach 100% CPU when calculating a single hash so I think leaving this feature out is better.
