Historically, the MD5 checksums in our LFS files serve as a protection
against broken downloads, or accidentally corrupted source files.
While the sources are nowadays downloaded via HTTPS, it make sense to
beef up integrity protection for them, since transparently intercepting
TLS is believed to be feasible for more powerful actors, and the state
of the public PKI ecosystem is clearly not helping.
Therefore, this patch switches from MD5 to BLAKE2, updating all LFS
files as well as make.sh to deal with this checksum algorithm. BLAKE2 is
notably faster (and more secure) than SHA2, so the performance penalty
introduced by this patch is negligible, if noticeable at all.
In preparation of this patch, the toolchain files currently used have
been supplied with BLAKE2 checksums as well on
https://source.ipfire.org/.

- Update from 3.6 to 3.7
- Update of rootfile not required
- Changelog
* Noteworthy changes in release 3.7 (2021-08-14) [stable]
** Changes in behavior
Use of the --unix-byte-offsets (-u) option now evokes a warning.
Since 3.1, this Windows-only option has had no effect.
** Bug fixes
Preprocessing N patterns would take at least O(N^2) time when too many
patterns hashed to too few buckets. This now takes seconds, not days:
: | grep -Ff <(seq 6400000 | tr 0-9 A-J)
[Bug#44754 introduced in grep 3.5]
- More details of the changes can be found in the ChangeLog file in the source tarball.

Most of these files still used old dates and/or domain names for contact
mail addresses. This is now replaced by an up-to-date copyright line.
Just some housekeeping... :-)

This will allow us to run multiple builds on the same
system at the same time (or at least have them on disk).
