[PATCH v3 0/9] Makefile & docs: document SHA-{1,256} behavior, fix bug

["Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason" <avarab@gmail.com>]

This v3 is a rewrite of the larger-in-scope v2[2] to only fix the
current Makefile & INSTALL documentation do to do with our SHA-1 and
SHA-256 knobs.

The only behavior change here is in 1/8, where I fix what's obviously
a bug in the current behavior (so that we don't need to document that
edge case). I'll submit a patch to change the behavior on OSX to use
sha1collisiondetection by default on top of this series.

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason (9):
  Makefile: always (re)set DC_SHA1 on fallback
  INSTALL: remove discussion of SHA-1 backends
  Makefile: correct DC_SHA1 documentation
  Makefile: create and use sections for "define" flag listing
  Makefile: rephrase the discussion of *_SHA1 knobs
  Makefile: document default SHA-256 backend
  Makefile: document SHA-1 and SHA-256 default and selection order
  Makefile: document default SHA-1 backend on OSX
  Makefile: discuss SHAttered in *_SHA{1,256} discussion
