Issue #421 has been updated by Krystian Hebel.

This allows for greater flexibility, where multiple coexisting programs may 
have different expectations, e.g. one is old enough to not know anything but 
SHA1, and another that considers SHA1 not secure enough.

This would call `tcpa_log_add_table_entry()` (or its corresponding new 
version), which would create multiple entries. This is not allowed by 
specification [1], 10.1.6:

----------------------------------------
Cleanup #421: Change API of functions taking hash as an argument
https://ticket.coreboot.org/issues/421#change-1191

* Author: Krystian Hebel
* Status: New
* Priority: Normal
* Target version: none
* Start date: 2022-10-12
----------------------------------------
All existing functions that take a digest as an input assume that only one 
hashing algorithm is used at a time. Crypto agile format entry can (and should) 
log every used PCR bank in one entry for a given measurement. To make it work, 
some of the arguments must be changed, e.g.:

- pass number of algorithms used;
- instead of algorithm ID, pass a pointer to array of such IDs, with size equal 
to above;
- instead of hash, pass a pointer to array of hashes, with size and order as 
above.
