[tiran]

Python has a couple of builtin hash module: md5, sha1, sha256/224, sha512/383, sha3/shake family, and blake2b/s. Most of them are used as fallbacks in case OpenSSL bindings are not available.

In some scenarios it is useful or required to disable the custom implementations and only offer libcrypto based implementations. Let's add a build option to disable modules.
