    Add methods to DigestUtils to generate hex from MessageDigest et. al. 

    *This PR replaces #7 which was associated with the wrong issue number*
    This PR adds methods to DigestUtils to make it easy to generate hexadecimal 
strings from: 
    - MessageDigest, 
    - DigestInputStream,
    - DigestOutputStream.
    
      If the underlying digest supports ```clone()```,  a clone is created 
before calling ```MessageDigest::digest``` to avoid resetting the state.  If 
this cannot be done, the original digest is used.
    
    [Although clone is optional for MessageDigests, it seems to be almost 
universally supported (e.g. both the Sun and the IBM  providers implement clone 
for their concrete digests) ]

    Add methods to DigestUtils to generate a hexadecimal string from a 
MessageDigest, a DigestInputStream, or a DigestOutputStream.  If the underlying 
digest implementation implements clone, a clone will be created before 
extracting the digest to avoid resetting it.
