Pure Rust implementation of the [BLAKE2] hash function family.

## Examples

### Fixed output size

```rust
use blake2::{Blake2b512, Blake2s256, Digest};
use hex_literal::hex;

// create a Blake2b512 object
let mut hasher = Blake2b512::new();

// write input message
hasher.update(b"hello world");

// read hash digest and consume hasher
let hash = hasher.finalize();
assert_eq!(hash, hex!(
    "021ced8799296ceca557832ab941a50b4a11f83478cf141f51f933f653ab9fbc"
    "c05a037cddbed06e309bf334942c4e58cdf1a46e237911ccd7fcf9787cbc7fd0"
));

// same example for Blake2s256:
let mut hasher = Blake2s256::new();
hasher.update(b"hello world");
let hash = hasher.finalize();
assert_eq!(hash, hex!("9aec6806794561107e594b1f6a8a6b0c92a0cba9acf5e5e93cca06f781813b0b"));

// Hex-encode hash using https://docs.rs/base16ct
let hex_hash = base16ct::lower::encode_string(&hash);
assert_eq!(hex_hash, "9aec6806794561107e594b1f6a8a6b0c92a0cba9acf5e5e93cca06f781813b0b");
```

Also, see the [examples section] in the RustCrypto/hashes readme.

### Variable output size

This implementation supports run and compile time variable sizes.

Output size set at run time:
```rust
use blake2::Blake2bVar;
use blake2::digest::{Update, VariableOutput};
use hex_literal::hex;

let mut hasher = Blake2bVar::new(10).unwrap();
hasher.update(b"my_input");
let mut buf = [0u8; 10];
hasher.finalize_variable(&mut buf).unwrap();
assert_eq!(buf, hex!("2cc55c84e416924e6400"));
```

Output size set at compile time:
```rust
use blake2::{Blake2b, Digest, digest::consts::U10};
use hex_literal::hex;

type Blake2b80 = Blake2b<U10>;

let mut hasher = Blake2b80::new();
hasher.update(b"my_input");
let res = hasher.finalize();
assert_eq!(res, hex!("2cc55c84e416924e6400"));
```
