[RFC PATCH 03/22] repository: require a build flag to use SHA-256

From

In-Reply-To
<20200113124729.3684846-1-sandals@crustytoothpaste.net>

At this point, SHA-256 support is experimental and some behavior may change. To avoid surprising unsuspecting users, require a build flag, ENABLE_SHA256, to allow use of a non-SHA-1 algorithm. Enable this flag by default when the DEVELOPER make flag is set so that contributors can test this case adequately.
