Well, a tricky part is that currently sha1dc_git.h is included from
sha1dc/sha1.h implicitly by SHA1DC_CUSTOM_TRAILING_INCLUDE_SHA1_H
definition.  IMO, we should stop this, and use the standard inclusion
instead, i.e. in hash.h,

#if defined(DC_SHA1_EXTERNAL)
#include <sha1dc/sha1.h>
#elif defined(DC_SHA1_SUBMODULE)
#include "sha1collisiondetection/lib/sha1.h"
#else
#include "sha1dc/sha1.h"
#endif
#include "sha1dc_git.h"

In sha1dc_git.h, we'd need another ifdef for DC_SHA1_EXTERNAL to
define the own git_SHA1DCInit(), but it's trivial.
