Amol,

Add a PCD to CryptoPkg.

There are other CryptoPkg extensions I am working on 
that will also define a PCD.

When you build your code and disassemble, are all the
hash algorithms included even through a module only 
needs one?  The design I have in mind allows unused 
hash services to always be optimized away.
