xxHash v0.8.0 - Stable XXH3

Stable XXH3

After more than a year in the making, XXH3 has finally reached stable status, \ 
for both its 64-bit and 128-bit variants.
While the code itself was in good enough shape for production use, the generated \ 
values could still change between versions. This limited XXH3 to local sessions \ 
only.
From now on, output values produced by XXH3 for a given input and parameter set \ 
will remain identical across systems and across future versions. It makes it \ 
possible to store these values for later comparison, or to exchange them across \ 
network connections.

BSD-style checksums

Official stabilization being the main goal of this release, there are only \ 
minimal additional changes.
A notable one though is the ability for xxhsum CLI to produce and check \ 
BSD-style checksum lines, using command --tag.
One advantage of --tag format is that it explicitly specifies the algorithm and \ 
format used to represent the checksum. For example, it explicitly mentions if a \ 
checksum value follows the canonical format (XXH32) or the alternative \ 
little-endian format (XXH32_LE).
Generating BSD-style checksum lines was actually already possible, but as the \ 
CLI was unable to --check them, it remained a hidden option.
This situation changes with v0.8.0, thanks to a patch by @WayneD which makes it \ 
possible to --check BSD-style checksum lines.
