Crypto Multihash

Multihash library implemented on top of cryptonite cryptographic library. 
Multihash is a protocol for encoding the hash algorithm and digest length at the start of the digest, see the official multihash github page. 

This library is still experimental and the api is not guaranteed stable. 
I will increment the version number appropriately in case of breaking changes. 

For the moment the library implements all the expected hashing algorithms with the exception of shake-128 and shake-256.  A Multihash can be encoded in hex (Base16), base 32 (Base32), bitcoin base58 (Base58) and base64 (Base64).
