[PATCH 04/26] builtin/receive-pack: switch to use the_hash_algo

The push cert code uses HMAC-SHA-1 to create a nonce. This is a secure use of SHA-1 which is not affected by its collision resistance (or lack thereof). However, it makes sense for us to use a better algorithm if one is available, one which may even be more performant. Futhermore, until we have specialized functions for computing the hex value of an arbitrary function, it simplifies the code greatly to use the same hash algorithm everywhere.

Switch this code to use GIT_MAX_BLKSZ and the_hash_algo for computing the push cert nonce, and rename the hmac_sha1 function to simply "hmac".
