Tom Lane c835be32cc pgcrypto: avoid name conflicts with OpenSSL in one more case. 
I happened to notice that if compiled --with-gssapi, 9.6's
contrib/pgcrypto tests report memory stomps for some SHA operations.

Both MEMORY_CONTEXT_CHECKING and valgrind agree there's a problem,
though nothing crashes; it appears that the buffer overrun
only extends into alignment padding, at least on 64-bit hardware.

Investigation found that pgcrypto's references to SHA224_Init
et al were being captured by the system OpenSSL library, which
of course has slightly incompatible definitions of those functions.
We long ago noticed this problem with respect to the sibling
functions SHA256_Init and so on, and commit 56f44784f introduced
renaming macros to dodge the problem for those.  However, it didn't
cover the SHA224 family because we didn't use that at the time.
When commit 1abf76e82 added those awhile later, it neglected to add
a similar renaming macro.  Better late than never, so do so now.

This appears to affect all branches 8.2 - 9.6, so it's surprising
nobody noticed before now.  Maybe the effect is somehow specific
to the way RHEL8 intertwines its GSS and SSL libraries?  Anyway,
we refactored all this stuff in v10, so newer branches don't have
the problem.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
