FIPS 140-2 systems non-functional

[bravecorvus]

Long story short

More or less the same problem layed out in this bug report on aim

This PR tries to solve the issue https://github.com/aimhubio/aim/issues/3143.

Using Aim on a FIPS compatible server, RHEL 9 FIPS enabled server in our case results in error due to lack of flexibility in the FIPS compatible version of blake2 hash algorithm used in aim currently.

Post further investigation we found out that on our FIPS servers the hashlib library used openssl version of the constructors for blake2 which doesn't provide digest_size argument which is used in Aim to customize the size of hash digest to 8 bytes.

In this patch we introduce use of a FIPS compatible hashing algorithm shake_256 which supports variable lengths digests and is available in FIPS mode under the SHA3 algorithms. Currently the code is written to keep using blake2 in normal execution mode but if FIPS mode is detected it switches to shake_256.
