[PATCH v2] Makefile: use sha1collisiondetection by default on OSX and Darwin

When the sha1collisiondetection library was added and made the default in [1] the interaction with APPLE_COMMON_CRYPTO added in [2] and [3] seems to have been missed. On modern OSX and Darwin we are able to use Apple's CommonCrypto both for SHA-1, and as a generic (but partial) OpenSSL replacement.

This left OSX and Darwin without protection against the SHAttered attack when building Git in its default configuration.

Let's also use sha1collisiondetection on OSX, to do so we'll need to split up the "APPLE_COMMON_CRYPTO" flag into that flag and a new "APPLE_COMMON_CRYPTO_SHA1".

Because of this we can stop conflating whether we want to use Apple's CommonCrypto at all, and whether we want to use it for SHA-1. This makes the CI recipe added in [4] simpler.

         split up the "APPLE_COMMON_CRYPTO" flag into that flag and a new
         "APPLE_COMMON_CRYPTO_SHA1".
     
    -    Let's also change the CI for "osx-clang" to test with the new
    -    APPLE_COMMON_CRYPTO_SHA1 knob ("osx-gcc" uses the new
    -    sha1collisiondetection default).
    -
    -    In practice this will spot issues like the one noted in [4], as
    -    testing with just two backends should be enough to spot unportable
    -    code. Ideally we'd have other CI jobs to test the various SHA-1
    -    combinations, but for now we have better CI coverage than before.

    +    CommonCrypto at all, and whether we want to use it for SHA-1.  This
