It is a very simple hashstring, which is why it isn't contributing to
the usability of a list of them, but it is also trivial to check and
calculate, so it doesn't hurt checking it either as it can combined even
with the simplest other hashes greatly complicate attacks on them as you
suddenly need a same-size hash collision, which is usually a lot harder
to achieve.

It is not very extensible to have the supported Hashes hardcoded
everywhere and especially if it is part of virtual method names.
It is also possible that a method does not support the 'best' hash
(yet), so we might end up not being able to verify a file even though we
have a common subset of supported hashes. And those are just two of the
cases in which it is handy to have a more dynamic selection.
The downside is that this is a MAJOR API break, but the HashStringList
has a string constructor for compatibility, so with a bit of luck the
few frontends playing with the acquire system directly are okay.

APT supports more than just one HashString and even allows to enforce
the usage of a specific hash. This class is intended to help with
storage and passing around of the HashStrings.

My commit 45df0ad2 from 26. Nov 2009 had a little remark:
"The commit also includes a very very simple testapp."
This was never intended to be permanent, but as usually…
The commit adds the needed make magic to compile gtest statically
as it is required and links it against a small runner. All previous
testcase binaries are reimplemented in gtest and combined in this
runner. While most code is a 1:1 translation some had to be rewritten
like compareversion_test.cc, but the coverage remains the same.

Beside being a bit cleaner it hopefully also resolves oddball problems
I have with high levels of parallel jobs.

The testcode happily mixes FILE* operations and direct access to fds
which is even a bit suprising that it works on linux and worked so
long for non-linux ports, so we switch to usage of FileFd instead
which provides us with simple fd-only operations. Its overkill for this
test as its a bare file and we ask for the descriptor all the time, but
it shouldn't hurt to implicitly test it a bit this way.
Closes: 721723
