gh-99108: Release the GIL around hashlib built-in computation (#104675)
This matches the GIL releasing behavior of our existing `_hashopenssl`
module, extending it to the HACL* built-ins.

Includes adding comments to better describe the ENTER/LEAVE macros
purpose and explain the lock strategy in both existing and new code.

* Helper code to synchronize access to the hash object when the GIL is
* released around a CPU consuming hashlib operation. All code paths that
* access a mutable part of obj must be enclosed in an ENTER_HASHLIB /
* LEAVE_HASHLIB block or explicitly acquire and release the lock inside
* a PY_BEGIN / END_ALLOW_THREADS block if they wish to release the GIL for
* an operation.
*
* These only drop the GIL if the lock acquisition itself is likely to
* block. Thus the non-blocking acquire gating the GIL release for a
* blocking lock acquisition. The intent of these macros is to surround
* the assumed always "fast" operations that you aren't releasing the
* GIL around. Otherwise use code similar to what you see in hash
* function update() methods.
