[bug#29911] [PATCH] gnu: Add xxhash.

[Tobias Geerinckx-Rice]

* gnu/packages/digest.scm: New file
(xxhash): New public variable.
* gnu/local.mk (GNU_SYSTEM_MODULES): Add new file.

Guix,

This adds both a blazin' new hash and a brand-new file, since I couldn't
find a suitable existing one.

crypto.scm is out: xxHash is explicitly non-that.

Happy times,

T G-R
