Use hashFile from zig-extras

I have changed to using hashFile from zig-extras after this comment by meghan (nektro):

using https://github.com/nektro/zig-extras/blob/master/src/lib.zig#L168 you can avoid the heap allocation and hash arbitrarily large inputs

by passing in file.reader() and hash.writer()

also the hasher is meant to be made an instance of as seen in https://github.com/nektro/zig-extras/blob/master/src/lib.zig#L155
