hashing rather than encrypting, generalized addition of optionary

[zdanl]

🔖 Feature description

• hashing is vastly used in blockchain context, and performant
• rainbow tables not possible as in md5 with better algorithms!
• hash collisions not of superior criticality, should be avoided tho.

🎤 Pitch

just a generalized approach, better for customers

👀 Have you spent some time to check if this issue has been raised before?

• I checked and didn't find similar issue

🏢 Have you read the Code of Conduct?

@zdanl, thanks for raising this issue! 🙏🏼 Could you expand on what you're looking for from Appwrite for this? From my perspective, various languages have their own hashing methods so I would use an Appwrite Function and that language's hashing function. For example, I can create a Dart Appwrite Function, import this crypto package, and execute sha1.convert(bytes).
