support different hash algos #28

I want to ensure this project can support multiple algorithms in the long term. Originally sha256 was selected due to its use coreutils, docker images, kubernetes, OCI, and release automation tools. But, ideally other algos could be supported.

Please comment on this issue with prior art in other projects. I would love to see simple text based file formats with existing use.
