crypto: lib/sha1 - rename "sha" to "sha1"

The library implementation of the SHA-1 compression function is
confusingly called just "sha_transform()".  Alongside it are some "SHA_"
constants and "sha_init()".  Presumably these are left over from a time
when SHA just meant SHA-1.  But now there are also SHA-2 and SHA-3, and
moreover SHA-1 is now considered insecure and thus shouldn't be used.

Therefore, rename these functions and constants to make it very clear
that they are for SHA-1.  Also add a comment to make it clear that these
shouldn't be used.

For the extra-misleadingly named "SHA_MESSAGE_BYTES", rename it to
SHA1_BLOCK_SIZE and define it to just '64' rather than '(512/8)' so that
it matches the same definition in <crypto/sha.h>.  This prepares for
merging <linux/cryptohash.h> into <crypto/sha.h>.

docs: prevent warnings due to autosectionlabel

Changeset 58ad30cf91 ("docs: fix reference to core-api/namespaces.rst")
enabled a new feature at Sphinx: it will now generate index for each
document title, plus to each chapter inside it.

There's a drawback, though: one document cannot have two sections
with the same name anymore.

A followup patch will change the logic of autosectionlabel to
avoid most creating references for every single section title,
but still we need to be able to reference the chapters inside
a document.

There are a few places where there are two chapters with the
same name. This patch renames one of the chapters, in order to
avoid symbol conflict within the same document.

PS.: as I don't speach Chinese, I had some help from a friend
(Wen Liu) at the Chinese translation for "publishing patches"
for this document:
