a preference for memory load instructions over large code footprints
with embedded immediate variables.
On amd64 CPUs from 2007-2008 there is not a significant change, but
amd64 CPUs from 2009-2010 get roughly 10% more throughput with this
code; amd64 CPUs from 2011-2012 get roughly 15% more throughput; and
AMD64 CPUs from 2013-2015 get 20-25% more throughput. The Raspberry
Pi 2 increases its throughput by 6-8%.

This implements SHA-512/256, which generates a 256 bit hash by
calculating the SHA-512 then truncating the result. A different initial
value is used, making the result different from the first 256 bits of
the SHA-512 of the same input. SHA-512 is ~50% faster than SHA-256 on
64bit platforms, so the result is a faster 256 bit hash.
The main goal of this implementation is to enable support for this
faster hashing algorithm in ZFS. The feature was introduced into ZFS
in r289422, but is disconnected because SHA-512/256 support was missing.
A further commit will enable it in ZFS.
This is the follow on to r292782

Use the C99 'static' keyword to hint to the compiler IVs and output digest
sizes. The keyword informs the compiler of the minimum valid size for a given
array. Obviously not every pointer can be validated (i.e., the compiler can
produce false negative but not false positive reports).
No functional change. No ABI change.

cperciva's libmd implementation is 5-30% faster
The same was done for SHA256 previously in r263218
cperciva's implementation was lacking SHA-384 which I implemented, validated against OpenSSL and the NIST documentation
Extend sbin/md5 to create sha384(1)
Chase dependancies on sys/crypto/sha2/sha2.{c,h} and replace them with sha512{c.c,.h}
