Pádraig Brady ead07bb3d4 cksum: add --raw option to output a binary digest ...

--raw output is the most composable format, and also is a
robust way to discard the file name without parsing (escaped) output.

Examples:

  $ cksum --raw -a crc "$afile" | basenc --base16
  4ACFC4F0

  $ cksum --raw -a crc "$afile" | basenc --base2msbf
  01001010110011111100010011110000

  $ cksum --raw -a sha256 "$bfile" | basenc --base32
