    This adds FileAttachment.sha256_checksum, a SHA256 file content hash
    of a file. We expose this attribute via the API so that callers can use
    it to checksum file attachments. We generate and set this hash in our
    upload file form, and in another spot where we create a file attachment for
    the original version of binary files in the diff viewer. Even if these
    two points don't cover all file attachment creation cases, the hash gets
    set on demand whenever the sha256_checksum attribute is accessed.

    This also adds a utility function for creating SHA256 hashes, and a
    type hint to FileDiff.get_repository() that was useful for this work.

    An upcoming change will point FileDiff.patched_sha256 and
    FileDiff.orig_sha256 to the corresponding
    FileAttachment.sha256_checksum for binary file diffs.

    • Ran unit tests.
    • Used in an upcoming RBTools change where I access the sha256_checksum
      attribute via the API.
