Add basic support for SHA-384 and SHA-512 to lib/crypto/. Various in-kernel users will be able to use this instead of the old-school crypto API, which is harder to use and has more overhead. The basic support added by this commit consists of the API and its documentation, backed by a C implementation of the algorithms. sha512_block_generic() is derived from crypto/sha512_generic.c.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
