lostheli c8cfa43ccc Add a download flag to hashsum and related commands to force rclone to download and hash files locally
This commit modifies the operations.hashSum function by adding an alternate code path. This code path is triggered by passing downloadFlag = True. When activated, rclone will download files from the remote and hash them locally. downloadFlag = False preserves the existing behavior of using the remote to retrieve the hash.

This commit modifies HashLister to support the new hashSum method as well as consolidating the roles of HashLister, HashListerBase64, Md5sum, and Sha1sum.  The printing of hashes from the function defined in HashLister has been revised to work with --progress.  There are light changes to operations.syncFprintf and cmd.startProgress for this.

The unit test operations_test.TestHashSums is modified to support this change and test the download functionality.

The command functions hashsum, md5sum, sha1sum, and dbhashsum are modified to support this change.  A download flag has been added and an output-file flag has been added.  The output-file flag writes hashes to a file instead of stdout to avoid the need to redirect stdout.

rclone md5sum

Produces an md5sum file for all the objects in the path.

Synopsis

Produces an md5sum file for all the objects in the path. This is in the same format as the standard md5sum tool produces.

By default, the hash is requested from the remote. If MD5 is not supported by the remote, no hash will be returned. With the download flag, the file will be downloaded from the remote and hashed locally enabling MD5 for any remote.

rclone md5sum remote:path [flags]

Options

      --base64               Output base64 encoded hashsum
      --download             Download the file and hash it locally; if this flag is not specified, the hash is requested from the remote
  -h, --help                 help for md5sum
      --output-file string   Output hashsums to a file rather than the terminal

See the global flags page for global options not listed here.
