This replaces the 'TODO' marker from earlier commits, using tevador's
copyright and license (LGPL 3.0 only) for the hashx and equix crates.

This refactors the random number generator used within HashX's program
generator so that it uses the rand::RngCore trait. The basic SipHash
powered u64 generator now implements RngCore, while a buffer layer
wraps this and provides u8 and u32 values as needed by the generator.
Some of this new RngCore layer is now exposed to the hashx crate's
public API. The intent is to allow external code to test, benchmark, or
fuzz the program generator by supplying its own random number stream.
Benchmarks show a small but confusing performance improvement
associated with this patch. About a 2% improvement in generation.
This could be due to the Rng changes. No change in compiled hash
execution performance. Even though this patch only touches program
generation, benchmarks show a 4% speedup in interpreted execution.
This seems most likely explained by instruction cache effects,
but I'm not sure.

This is a new pure Rust implementation of the HashX algorithm
designed by tevador for Tor's onion service proof of work puzzle v1.
HashX is a lightweight family of randomly generated hash functions.
A seed, via blake2 and siphash, drives a program generation model
which randomly selects opcodes and registers while following some
constraints that avoid timing stalls or insufficient hash mixing.
The execution of these hash funcions can be done using a pure Rust
interpreter, or about 20x faster using a very simple just in time
compiler based on the dynasm assembler crate. This has been
implemented for x86_64 and aarch64.
