While working on issue 26488 I found a real need for this feature.
I added a new method to the hash object named fromfile(). The function update 
the hash object with the content of the file like object it receives.

I only added the feature to hash algorithm provided by OpenSSL. If there will 
be good reviews on this I will do the work of adding this to all hash 
algorithms.
