[CRYPTO] doc: Update documentation for hash and me
This patch updates the documentation to reflect the switch from digest
to hash. It also replaces notes about emailing James Morris to refer
to me instead.

Conceptually, the API layering looks like this:
[transform api] (user interface)
- [transform ops] (per-type logic glue e.g. cipher.c, digest.c)
+ [transform ops] (per-type logic glue e.g. cipher.c, compress.c)
[algorithm api] (for registering algorithms)
The idea is to make the user interface and algorithm registration API
