1. API:
This exposes a minimal API: the SHA-3 functions implement hash.Hash. The
SHAKE functions implement a new "ShakeHash" interface that implements
io.Reader, io.Writer, and Reset().
(The previous Barrier() function has been removed.)
(Alternative proposal: Don't implement io.Reader, but instead provide a
"Digest(d []byte) error" function that performs a hash.Hash style copy.
Somewhat more minimal, but very easy to use incorrectly.)
2. Tests
Added the complete set of ShortMsgKATs from
https://github.com/gvanas/KeccakCodePackage
3. Correctness
In sync with draft FIPS-202.
4. Documentation
A summary of the security properties of the SHA-3 and SHAKE functions is
provided in doc.go; some concrete recommendations as well.
Fixes 8563.

Added a pure Go implementation of SHA3 (Keccak) which implements the hash.Hash interface.
A test file is included with performance benchmarks and standard test vectors.
