Samba vs LDAP/SSL ans SHA256 cert on NetBSD

Hello

I encountered problems with Samba 3.6.25 being unable to connect
to a LDAP/SSL directory that has a SHA256 certificate. I tracked 
it down to a clash between Samba and netBSD's libc SHA256_Update.

Attached is a fix that rename the function when Samba builds on 
NetBSD, so that the clash does not happen.

Subject: [PATCH] Fix Samba ability to connect to LDAP/SSL with SHA256 cert on
 NetBSD

NetBSD's libc and Samba both provide SHA2 functions with the
same protoype but with incompatible private context structures.
This causes connexions to LDAPS/SSL with a SHA256 certificate to
fail, because the LDAP BIND goes through libldap/libssl/libcrypto
and here Samba's SHA256_Update() is used when NetBSD's libc flavor
is expected. This produce this error in smbd logs:
error:0D0C5006:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_item_verify:EVP lib

We fix this by renaming Samba SHA256 functions on NetBSD so that
libc flavor is always used.
