[issue26798] add BLAKE2 to hashlib

[Alex Gaynor]

Alex Gaynor added the comment:

Right now all the hashlib algorithms are backed by OpenSSL. OpenSSL 1.1.0 will have blake2, so perhaps the right move is just to wait for that to drop in a few weeks?

Sadly many users with old OpenSSL's still won't have blake2, but pretty quickly Windows and OS X users will get blake2!
