SHA: Add a runtime sanity check that sha commands output something that appears to be a real sha.

This after fielding a bug where git-annex was built with a sha256 program
whose output checked out, but was then run with one that output lines
like:

SHA256 (file) = <sha here>

Which it then parsed as having a SHA256 of "SHA256"!

Now the output of the command is required to be of the right length,
and contain only the right characters.
