Add SHA224 and MD5 to hal_crypto

STM32 supports these, but are not in the high level hal_crypto.h file, nor does the LLD implementation have them.

Hi,

MD5 was left out on purpose, it is unsafe and should not be used.

MD5 is still widely used, and you may not have a choice if working with an external system. Also, depending on your threat model, it's not completely terrible to use. Makes sense to support it if the hardware does IMHO.
