Stephen J Day 7835d261d8 Add generic content digest tool
Previously a useful gist, this changeset polishes the original tarsum tool into
a utility that can be used to calculate content digests. Any algorithm from the
digest package is supported with additional support from tarsum.

This tool is very useful for quickly checking backend digests and verifying
correctness.
