 All throughout documents available through dir-spec there are SHA1 and
 SHA256 digests to reference other documents. It's easy enough to follow
 these but if you already have the document but want to get its digest, I
 can't see the method for doing so.

 This would ideally return a lower-case SHA1 hex digest, or a base64
 encoded SHA256 digest, depending on which function you call.
