hashlib.compare_digest uses OpenSSL's CRYPTO_memcmp() function
when OpenSSL is available.
Note: The _operator module is a builtin module. I don't want to add
libcrypto dependency to libpython. Therefore I duplicated the wrapper
function and added a copy to _hashopenssl.c.
The internal module ``_hashlib`` wraps and exposes OpenSSL's HMAC API. The
new code will be used in Python 3.10 after the internal implementation
details of the pure Python HMAC module are no longer part of the public API.
The code is based on a patch by Petr Viktorin for RHEL and Python 3.6.

The ``ssl`` and ``hashlib`` modules now actively check that OpenSSL is
build with thread support. Python 3.7.0 made thread support mandatory and no
longer works safely with a no-thread builds.

OpenSSL 3.0.0-alpha2 was released today. The FIPS_mode() function has
been deprecated and removed. It no longer makes sense with the new
provider and context system in OpenSSL 3.0.0.
EVP_default_properties_is_fips_enabled() is good enough for our needs in
unit tests. It's an internal API, too.

test.pythoninfo logs OpenSSL FIPS_mode() and Linux
/proc/sys/crypto/fips_enabled in a new "fips" section.

test_hmac and test_hashlib test built-in hashing implementations and
OpenSSL-based hashing implementations. Add more checks to skip OpenSSL
implementations when a strict crypto policy is active.
Use EVP_DigestInit_ex() instead of EVP_DigestInit() to initialize the
EVP context. The EVP_DigestInit() function clears alls flags and breaks
usedforsecurity flag again.

* Updated _hashopenssl.c to be PEP 384 compliant
* Remove refleak test from test_hashlib. The updated type no longer accepts random arguments to __init__.
In ArgumentClinic, value "NULL" should now be used only for unrepresentable default values
(like in the optional third parameter of getattr). "None" should be used if None is accepted
as argument and passing None has the same effect as not passing the argument at all.
The usedforsecurity keyword only argument added to the hash constructors is useful for FIPS builds and similar restrictive environment with non-technical requirements that legacy algorithms be forbidden by their implementations without being explicitly annotated as not being used for any security related purposes. Linux distros with FIPS support benefit from this being standard rather than making up their own way(s) to do it.

Fix two unlikely reference leaks in _hashopenssl. The leaks only occur in
out-of-memory cases. Thanks to Charalampos Stratakis.

Fix invalid function cast warnings with gcc 8
for method conventions different from METH_NOARGS, METH_O and
METH_VARARGS excluding Argument Clinic generated code.
* help(hashlib) didn't work because of incorrect module name in blake2b and
blake2s classes.
* Constructors blake2*(), sha3_*(), shake_*() and keccak_*() incorrectly
accepted keyword argument "string" for binary data, but documented as
accepting the "data" keyword argument. Now this parameter is positional-only.
* Keyword-only parameters in blake2b() and blake2s() were not documented as
keyword-only.
* Default value for some parameters of blake2b() and blake2s() was None,
which is not acceptable value.
* The length argument for shake_*.digest() was wrapped out to 32 bits.
* The argument for shake_128.digest() and shake_128.hexdigest() was not
positional-only as intended.
* TypeError messages for incorrect arguments in all constructors sha3_*(),
shake_*() and keccak_*() incorrectly referred to sha3_224.
Also made the following enhancements:
* More accurately specified input and result types for strings, bytes and
bytes-like objects.
* Unified positional parameter names for update() and constructors.
* Improved formatting.
The hmac module now has hmac.digest(), which provides an optimized HMAC
digest for short messages. hmac.digest() is up to three times faster
than hmac.HMAC().digest().

kB (*kilo* byte) unit means 1000 bytes, whereas KiB ("kibibyte")
means 1024 bytes. KB was misused: replace kB or KB with KiB when
appropriate.
Same change for MB and GB which become MiB and GiB.
Change the output of Tools/iobench/iobench.py.
Round also the size of the documentation from 5.5 MB to 5 MiB.
The ssl and hashlib modules now call OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() on
OpenSSL < 1.1.0. The function detects CPU features and enables optimizations
on some CPU architectures such as POWER8. Patch is based on research from
Gustavo Serra Scalet.

This changes the main documentation, doc strings, source code comments, and a
couple error messages in the test suite. In some cases the word was removed
or edited some other way to fix the grammar.
