Hi!

While working on the “reproducible builds” effort [1], we have noticed that
nacl could not be built reproducibly.

During the latest build, a different implementation for sha512 was
picked between the first build and the subsequent rebuild [2]. While
this should not be a problem for software built with nacl — unless
calling a specific variant — it means that they might have different
performance after using a version of the nacl package or another.

It would be better to have the default choice be chosen in a
deterministic way and provide both implementations to nacl users.
