Yann E. MORIN 5da8218184 support/download: drop support for the 'none' hash
Commit 1ba85b7f87 (support/download: add explicit no-hash support)
introduced the 'none' hash type, in an attempt to make hash files
mandatory, but not failing on archives localy generated, like those
for git or svn repositories, especially for those packages where a
version choice was present, which would allow for either remote
archives for which we'd have a hash or VCS trees for which we could
not have a hash for the localy generated archive.

Indeed, back in the time, we did not have a mean to generate
reproducible archives, so having a hash file without a hash for
thosel ocally generated archives would trigger an error in the
hash-checking machinery.

But now, low-and-behold, we do know how to generate those archives,
and we have a mechanism to explicitly exclude some archives from being
hash-checked (e.g. when the version string itself can be user-provided).

As such, the 'none' hash type no longer has any raison d'être, we do not
use it in-tree, and its use in a br2-external tree is most probably
inexistent (as is the use of hash files alotgether most probably).

So we simply drop the support for that.
