For environments that require certified implementations of cryptographic
primitives allow to select a library providing them. The requirements
are SHA256 and BLAKE2 (with the 2b variant and 256 bit digest).
For now there are two: libgrcrypt and libsodium (openssl does not
provide the BLAKE2b-256). Accellerated versions are typically provided
and automatically selected.

A simple tool to microbenchmark performance of the hashes. Uses rdtsc
for timing, so works only on x86_64.
