Use sha256 for hashes in the release process
I just came across the GDB 10.1 release notes and saw that md5 is still being used in those. I thought it would be a good idea to instead have a more modern, secure and wildly available hash function such as SHA256 as part of the release process. The changes have been done rather mechnically via sed but executing the `src-release.sh -b gdb` did work so I am confident about the result. While this does not directly address the release mails, I was wasn't able to find the template/script used for those, this is probably still an improvement. ChangeLog: * src-release.sh: Use sha256sum instead of md5sum. binutils/ChangeLog: * README-how-to-make-a-release: Use sha256sum instead of md5sum. Change-Id: I9cf19ea40699137c45463b8514f6e29271af2347
