9b88c60484 pkg-download: verify the hashes from the download wrapper
Instead of repeating the check in our download rules, delegate the check
of the hashes to the download wrapper.

This needs three different changes:

  - add a new argument to the download wrapper, that is the full path to
    the hash file; if the hash file does not exist, that does not change
    the current behaviour, as the existence of the hash file is checked
    for in the check-hash script;

  - add a third argument to the check-hash script, to be the basename of
    the file to check; this is required because we no longer check the
    final file with the final filename, but an intermediate file with a
    temporary filename;

  - do the actual call to the check-hash script from within the download
    wrapper.

This further paves the way to doing pre-download checks of the hashes
for the locally cached files.

Note: this patch removes the check for hashes for already downloaded
files, since the wrapper script exits early. The behaviour to check
localy cached files will be restored and enhanced in the following
patch.

[Thomas: fix minor typo in comment.]

dab47af5d9 pkg-download: fix arguments to hash checking script
The argument are correctly used, but incorrectly documented.
Inverse the comments to match the actual usage.

acc76a6ef9 Change /bin/bash shebangs into /usr/bin/env bash
Not all systems have /bin/bash (e.g. NixOS[1] doesn't). Buildroot
already uses /usr/bin/env shebangs for other interpreters (perl,
python), so why not bash?

This changes only the shebangs used by Buildroot itself; stuff installed
to the target system is left unchanged.

With this applied I can run Buildroot unmodified on NixOS.

051876936f manual: add documentation about packages' hashes
Although md5 is, for legacy reasons, a supported hash type,
it is not documented on purpose, since it is now known to
be weak.

9bd8b59526 pkg-infra: add possiblity to check downloaded files against known hashes
Some of the packages that Buildroot might build are sensitive packages,
related to security: openssl, dropbear, ca-certificates...

Some of those packages are downloaded over plain http, because there is
no way to get them over a secure channel, such as https.

In these dark times of pervasive surveillance, the potential for harm that
a tampered-with package could generate, we may want to check the integrity
of those sensitive packages.

So, each package may now provide a list of hashes for all files that needs
to be downloaded, and Buildroot will just fail if any downloaded file does
not match its known hash, in which case it is removed.

Hashes can be any of the md5, sha1 or sha2 variants, and will be checked
even if the file was pre-downloaded.
