Allow using blake2 hash #9

Currently, the sha2-256 hash is hardcoded

As the blake2 hash is much faster with enhanced safety comparable to sha3, it would be neat if there's an option to switch to it.

Hello, unfortunately git-lfs-ipfs must use sha256. This is because LFS itself only supports sha256: https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/blob/main/docs/spec.md

It might be possible to use a different hash but that would require changing the way things are tracked from the file level to the repo level.
