The interface of the internal function
<tt>
pkcs1_signature_prefix

has changed. Rename it to
<tt>
_pkcs1_signature_prefix

, to clearly mark it internal and
also make applications using it fail more predictably at compile or
link time.

Change argument type of memxor and memxor3 from uint8_t * to void

nettle library, with nettle_ prefix on the symbols, and no

Rename sha256 to sha2_256, and similar for other sha2 functions.
Split sha.h into sha1.h and sha2.h. For backwards compatibility,
keep sha.h with old names as aliases.
