[New-bugs-announce] [issue16113] Add SHA-3 (Keccak) support

[Christian Heimes]

New submission from Christian Heimes:

Today the latest crypto hash function was announced by NIST [1]. I suggest that we include the new hash algorithm in 3.4 once it lands in OpenSSL.

The Keccak site also has a reference implementation in C and Assembler [2]. It may take some effort to integrate the reference implementation as it contains several optimized backends for X86, X86_64, SIMD and various ARM platforms.
