The following patch attempts to use x86 SHA ISA if available to speed
up in my testing about 2.5x sha1 build-id processing (in my case on
AMD Ryzen 5 3600) while producing the same result.
I believe AArch64 has similar HW acceleration for SHA1, perhaps it
could be added similarly.
Note, seems lld uses BLAKE3 rather than md5/sha1. I think it would be
a bad idea to lie to users, if they choose --buildid=sha1, we should
be using SHA1, not some other checksum, but perhaps we could add some other
--buildid= styles and perhaps make one of the new the default.
Tested on x86_64-linux, both on Intel i9-7960X (which doesn't have
sha_ni ISA support) without/with the patch and on AMD Ryzen 5 3600
(which does have it) without/with the patch.

The newer update-copyright.py fixes file encoding too, removing cr/lf
on binutils/bfdtest2.c and ld/testsuite/ld-cygwin/exe-export.exp, and
embedded cr in binutils/testsuite/binutils-all/ar.exp string match.
The result of running etc/update-copyright.py --this-year, fixing all
the files whose mode is changed by the script, plus a build with
--enable-maintainer-mode --enable-cgen-maint=yes, then checking
out */po/*.pot which we don't update frequently.
The copy of cgen was with commit d1dd5fcc38ead reverted as that commit
breaks building of bfp opcodes files.
