Switch deephash to use sha256x.Hash.
We add sha256x.HashString to efficiently hash a string.
It uses unsafe under the hood to convert a string to a []byte.
We also modify sha256x.Hash to export the underlying hash.Hash
for testing purposes so that we can intercept all hash.Hash calls.
Performance:
name old time/op new time/op delta
Hash-24 19.8µs ± 1% 19.2µs ± 1% -3.01% (p=0.000 n=10+10)
HashPacketFilter-24 2.61µs ± 0% 2.53µs ± 1% -3.01% (p=0.000 n=8+10)
HashMapAcyclic-24 31.3µs ± 1% 29.8µs ± 0% -4.80% (p=0.000 n=10+9)
TailcfgNode-24 1.83µs ± 1% 1.82µs ± 2% ~ (p=0.305 n=10+10)
HashArray-24 344ns ± 2% 323ns ± 1% -6.02% (p=0.000 n=9+10)
The performance gains is not as dramatic as sha256x over sha256 due to:
1. most of the hashing already occurring through the direct memory hashing logic, and
2. what does not go through direct memory hashing is slowed down by reflect.

The hash.Hash provided by sha256.New is much more efficient
if we always provide it with data a multiple of the block size.
This avoids double-copying of data into the internal block
of sha256.digest.x. Effectively, we are managing a block ourselves
to ensure we only ever call hash.Hash.Write with full blocks.

The logic has gone through CPU-hours of fuzzing.
