Bug#13174: SHA2 function
Patch contributed from Bill Karwin, paper unnumbered CLA in Seattle
Implement SHA2 functions.
Chad added code to make it work with YaSSL. Also, he removed the
(probable) bug of embedded server never using SSL-dependent
functions. (libmysqld/Makefile.am didn't read ANY autoconf defs.)
Function specification:
SHA2( string cleartext, integer hash_length )
-> string hash, or NULL
where hash_length is one of 224, 256, 384, or 512. If either is
NULL or a length is unsupported, then the result is NULL. The
resulting string is always the length of the hash_length parameter
or is NULL.
Include the canonical hash examples from the NIST in the test
results.

to wrong results
3 problems found with DES_ENCRYPT/DES_DECRYPT :
1. The max length was not calculated properly. Fixed in fix_length_and_dec()
2. DES_ENCRYPT had a side effect of sometimes reallocating and changing
the value of its argument. Fixed by explicitly pre-allocating the necessary
space to pad the argument with trailing '*' (stars) when calculating the
DES digest.
3. in DES_ENCRYPT the string buffer for the result value was not
reallocated to the correct size and only string length was assigned to it.
Fixed by making sure there's enough space to hold the result.
