Use sha256 for hashes in the release process
...
I just came across the GDB 10.1 release notes and saw that md5 is still
being used in those. I thought it would be a good idea to instead have a
more modern, secure and wildly available hash function such as SHA256 as
part of the release process.
The changes have been done rather mechnically via sed but executing the
`src-release.sh -b gdb` did work so I am confident about the result.
While this does not directly address the release mails, I was wasn't
able to find the template/script used for those, this is probably still
an improvement.
ChangeLog:
* src-release.sh: Use sha256sum instead of md5sum.
binutils/ChangeLog:
* README-how-to-make-a-release: Use sha256sum instead of md5sum.
