Unify hashing for avatar (#22289)
- Unify the hashing code for repository and user avatars into a
function.
- Use a sane hash function instead of MD5.
- Only require hashing once instead of twice(w.r.t. hashing for user
avatar).
- Improve the comment for the hashing code of why it works.

// output. It will generate the output according to:
// HEX(HASH(uniqueID || - || data))
// The hash being used is SHA256.
// The sole purpose of the unique ID is to generate a distinct hash Such that
// two unique IDs with the same data will have a different hash output.
// The "-" byte is important to ensure that data cannot be modified such that
// the first byte is a number, which could lead to a "collision" with the hash
// of another unique ID.
