mingw: use OpenSSL's SHA-1 routines

Use OpenSSL's SHA-1 routines rather than builtin block-sha1 routines.
This improves performance on SHA1 operations on Intel processors.

OpenSSL 1.0.2 has made considerable performance improvements and
support the Intel hardware acceleration features.  See:
https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/improving-openssl-performance
https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-sha-extensions

To test this I added/staged a single file in a gigantic
repository having a 450MB index file.  The code in read-cache.c
verifies the header SHA as it reads the index and computes a new
header SHA as it writes out the new index.  Therefore, in this test
the SHA code must process 900MB of data.  Testing was done on an
Intel I7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz (Intel64, Family 6, Model 60) CPU.

The block-sha1 version averaged 5.27 seconds.
The OpenSSL    version averaged 4.50 seconds.
