Subject: [PATCH 6/7] block-sha1: Use '(B&C)+(D&(B^C))' instead of '(B&C)|(D&(B|C))' in round 3

It's an equivalent expression, but the '+' gives us some freedom in instruction selection (for example, we can use 'lea' rather than 'add'), and associates with the other additions around it to give some minor scheduling freedom.

A small micro-optimization. It may not matter hugely, but it's definitely the right thing to do. And with the new macroized thing, you can see clearly what part of the SHA1 rounds it affects, and how.
