There's now a proper SHA-1 API that follows the usual conventions for
hash function APIs: sha1_init(), sha1_update(), sha1_final(), sha1().
The only remaining user of the older low-level SHA-1 API,
sha1_init_raw() and sha1_transform(), is ipv6_generate_stable_address().
I'd like to remove this older API, which is too low-level.

Unfortunately, ipv6_generate_stable_address() does in fact skip the
SHA-1 finalization for some reason.  So the values it computes are not
standard SHA-1 values, and it sort of does want the low-level API.

Still, it's still possible to use the higher-level functions sha1_init()
and sha1_update() to get the same result, provided that the resulting
state is used directly, skipping sha1_final().

So, let's do that instead.  This will allow removing the low-level API.
