It seemed unnecessary to actually change the behavior of the existing implemention. It just calls reset() which sets the state back to initial state. This is not expensive and some sort of state cleanup is needed to not have computation left in memory. On the other hand I didn't want to introduce extra CC_SHA1_Init call to match this unused behavior. CC_SHA1_Final cleans up the state just fine.

The new behavior is that you create new SHA1 instance for each computation. This is how the clients seem to expect it to behave anyway and matches similar MD5 type.
