Lasse Collin 76946dc433 Fix SHA-256 authors.
The initial commit 5d018dc035
in 2007 had a comment in sha256.c that the code is based on
Crypto++ Library 5.5.1. In 2009 the Authors list in sha256.c
and the AUTHORS file was updated with information that the
code had come from Crypto++ but via 7-Zip. I know I had viewed
7-Zip's SHA-256 code but back then the C code has been identical
enough with Crypto++, so I don't why I thought the author info
would need that extra step via 7-Zip for this single file.

Another error is that I had mixed sha.* and shacal2.* files
when checking for author info in Crypto++. The shacal2.* files
aren't related to liblzma's sha256.c and thus Kevin Springle's
code in Crypto++ isn't either.

Authors of XZ Utils
===================
XZ Utils is developed and maintained by Lasse Collin
<lasse.collin@tukaani.org> and Jia Tan <jiat0218@gmail.com>.
Major parts of liblzma are based on code written by Igor Pavlov,
specifically the LZMA SDK <https://7-zip.org/sdk.html>. Without
this code, XZ Utils wouldn't exist.
The SHA-256 implementation in liblzma is based on code written by
Wei Dai in Crypto++ Library <https://www.cryptopp.com/>.
Some scripts have been adapted from gzip. The original versions
were written by Jean-loup Gailly, Charles Levert, and Paul Eggert.
Andrew Dudman helped adapting the scripts and their man pages for
XZ Utils.
The initial version of the threaded .xz decompressor was written
by Sebastian Andrzej Siewior.
The initial version of the .lz (lzip) decoder was written
by Michał Górny.
Architecture-specific CRC optimizations were contributed by
Ilya Kurdyukov, Hans Jansen, and Chenxi Mao.
Other authors:
- Jonathan Nieder
- Joachim Henke
The GNU Autotools-based build system contains files from many authors,
which I'm not trying to list here.
Several people have contributed fixes or reported bugs. Most of them
are mentioned in the file THANKS.
