libbpf: Replace AF_ALG with open coded SHA-256

Reimplement libbpf_sha256() using some basic SHA-256 C code.  This
eliminates the newly-added dependency on AF_ALG, which is a problematic
UAPI that is not supported by all kernels.

Make libbpf_sha256() return void, since it can no longer fail.  This
simplifies some callers.  Also drop the unnecessary 'sha_out_sz'
parameter.  Finally, also fix the typo in "compute_sha_udpate_offsets".
