AddFileWithHash rejects hashes that are not multihashes (closes #129)
check / check (push) Failing after 2s

AddFileWithHash took any non-empty bytes as a hash, so the builder could
write a manifest that mfer refuses to load. It now decodes the hash with
go-multihash and also requires a digest of at least 32 bytes, the SHA-256
length the reader's decoding-cost limit assumes: a valid but shorter
multihash, such as an empty identity hash or SHA-1, still makes a
manifest of one-character paths too costly to load. When mfer freshen
meets such a hash in an existing manifest, its error names the manifest
entry and says to regenerate the manifest with mfer generate. Test
fixtures whose stand-in hashes were not valid multihashes now use a
SHA-256 multihash.
