Given that I'm also listed in the crypto section, I think we may as well
delete the whole separate entry.

The only downside of this change is that those hsiphash functions are,
erm, a bit less than cryptographic-strength. But maybe such concerns
don't really matter any more at this stage, and we might as well group
it all in lib/crypto/ where it all belonged originally anyway.
