Need to define the workspace buffer properly to allow compiler to handle
strict aliasing between the incoming unsigned char[64] buffer as an u32
array. The previous version built with strict aliasing enabled can
result in SHA-1 producing incorrect results and consequently, with
4-way handshake failing.
This is based on a report and patch from Dan Williams <dcbw@redhat.com>
but with a different type (the union) used as a fix to avoid needing
extra type casting.
Discovered as part of the investigation of:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=494262#c32
if sha1 is built with gcc without turning off strict aliasing, it will
fail to correctly generate the hashes and will fail its own testcases as
well.

Some crypto libraries can return in these functions (e.g., if a specific
hash function is disabled), so we better provide the caller a chance to
check whether the call failed. The return values are not yet used
anywhere, but they will be needed for future changes.
