Rémi Verschelde ccf7e4374a HTML5: Enable mbedTLS module for Crypto object
Increases the size of the wasm by around 3% (~300-350 KiB).

This enables using the Crypto object for hashing, signing and encryption,
and therefore reduces the gap between the features of the HTML5 platform
and other platforms.

Closes https://github.com/godotengine/godot-proposals/issues/3574.

<brief_description>
Context to compute cryptographic hashes over multiple iterations.
</brief_description>
<description>
The HashingContext class provides an interface for computing cryptographic hashes over multiple iterations. This is useful for example when computing hashes of big files (so you don't have to load them all in memory), network streams, and data streams in general (so you don't have to hold buffers).
The [enum HashType] enum shows the supported hashing algorithms.
[codeblock]
const CHUNK_SIZE = 1024
func hash_file(path):
var ctx = HashingContext.new()
var file = File.new()
# Start a SHA-256 context.
ctx.start(HashingContext.HASH_SHA256)
# Check that file exists.
if not file.file_exists(path):
return
# Open the file to hash.
file.open(path, File.READ)
# Update the context after reading each chunk.
while not file.eof_reached():
ctx.update(file.get_buffer(CHUNK_SIZE))
# Get the computed hash.
var res = ctx.finish()
# Print the result as hex string and array.
printt(res.hex_encode(), Array(res))
