The block-sha1 implementation takes an "unsigned long" for the length of
a buffer to hash, but our hash algorithm wrappers take a size_t, as do
other implementations we support like openssl or sha1dc. On many
systems, including Linux, these two are equivalent, but they are not on
Windows (where only a "long long" is 64 bits). As a result, passing
large chunks to a single the_hash_algo->update_fn() would produce wrong
answers there.
Note that we don't need to update any other sizes outside of the
function interface. We store the cumulative size in a "long long" (which
we must do since we hash things bigger than 4GB, like packfiles, even on
32-bit platforms). And internally, we break that size_t len down into
64-byte blocks to feed into the guts of the algorithm.
