Add a setting for usage of sha1 from ramdisk #27

Apologies for any inconvenience. I'm curious about why we prefer to perform a check and use the SHA1 of a CPIO file instead of simply calculating the SHA1 of the partition itself?

The original idea was to keep up with the original boot image to avoid bootloops. The available backups are also tied to that value. A change to that functionality has been requested on XDA, as well. I plan to add toggles for both features on a settings screen, but I wouldn't expect it in the coming weeks.
