Nowadays, there are practical collision attacks on the SHA-1 algorithm.
For that reason, Git integrated code that detects attempts to sneak in
objects using those known attack vectors and enabled it by default.
The collision detection is not for free, though: when using the SHA1DC
code, calculating the SHA-1 takes substantially longer than using
OpenSSL's (in some case hardware-accelerated) SHA1-routines, and this
happens even when switching off the collision detection in SHA1DC's code.
Therefore, it makes sense to limit the use of the collision-detecting
SHA1DC to the cases where objects are introduced from any outside source,
and use the fast OpenSSL code instead when working on implicitly trusted
data (such as when the user calls `git add`).
This patch introduces the DC_AND_OPENSSL_SHA1 Makefile knob to compile
with both SHA1DC and OpenSSL's SHA-1 routines, defaulting to SHA1DC. A
later patch will add the ability to switch between them.
