utils.handlers framework reworked; removed a bunch of boilerplate code
* StaticHandler is now subclass of GenericHandler
- _calc_checksum() should be implemented instead of encrypt().
(compatibility stub added so old code should continue to work)
- _norm_hash() no longer needs to handle ->unicode conversion
- default from_string() contains a bunch of features,
including stripping a known prefix, etc.
* context kwds now pulled into constructor, so GenericHandler
supports context kwds properly; HasUserContext mixin added
to support common 'user' context kwd
* identify_regexp & identify_prefix removed, functionality
rolled into default GenericHandler.identify() implementation.
- default identify checks _hash_regex as potential way to identify hashes
* HasStubChecksum removed, functionality rolled into GenericHandler
* HasRawChecksum now just sets a flag, functionality moved into GenericHandler
* HasManyIdents._parse_ident() helper added to valid & split identifier
from hashes.
* GenericHandler._norm_checksum() is now strict about unicode / bytes
