The osgi.content capability must hold the SHA-256 value of the
resource. But this value is rarely used. So, when building a resource
from a file, we defer the SHA-256 calculation until actually needed.
The can help performance of FileSetRepository used by bndtools m2e.
However, we do need the hashCode of the SHA-256 value early, so use
a substitute hashCode value based upon the File object. This is not
perfect since two files can hold identical content and the hashCode of
their SHA-256 values should be identical. But in practice, this should
work when creating a resource from a file since the early need for the
hashCode of the SHA-256 value is in the computing of the hashCode of
the capability so it can be inserted in a set. But creating a resource
from a file only creates a single osgi.content capability.
