ORC-250 - Create sha256 mask
Masking strategy that masks String, Varchar, Char and Binary types
as SHA 256 hash.
**For String type:**
All string type of any length will be converted to 64 length SHA256 hash.
**For Varchar type:**
For Varchar type, max-length property will be honored i.e.
if the length is less than max-length then the SHA256 hash will be truncated
to max-length. If max-length is greater than 64 then the output is the
sha256
length, which is 64.
**For Char type:**
For Char type, the length of mask will always be equal to specified
max-length.
If the given length (max-length) is less than SHA256 hash length (64)
the mask will be truncated.
If the given length (max-length) is greater than SHA256 hash length (64)
then the mask will be padded by blank spaces.
**For Binary type:**
All Binary type of any length will be converted to 64 length SHA256 hash.
