Matt McCormick 33a9aaa89b ExternalData: Add support for multiple hash algorithms
Add support for projects to have `Data.txt.md5` *and* `Data.txt.sha512`
where the content links hold hashes for the same file.  Check all
`ExternalData_URL_TEMPLATES` entries in order for all available hashes.
The data acquisition is considered a failure if none of the available
URL resources has any of the given hashes.  This makes it possible to
have multiple data server resources where all servers do not support all
hashing algorithms.

ExternalData-multiple-hashes
----------------------------
* The :module:`ExternalData` module learned to support multiple
content links for one data file using different hashes, e.g.
``img.png.sha256`` and ``img.png.sha1``. This allows objects
to be fetched from sources indexed by different hash algorithms.
