Add support for overriding the default hash format
This change adds support for a new --hash-format parameter that can be used to
override the default hash format used by SCons. The default remains MD5, but
this allows consumers to opt into SHA1, SHA256, or any other hash algorithm
offered by their implementation of hashlib.
