This just carries forward existing technical debt, but it's unfortunate
that we don't catch OPENSSL_SHA256 overridding NETTLE_SHA256, and error
if both are defined.

This looks good to me, except for the small nit that I think this should
be squashed in. For the others we need this inline wrappers, but not for
"init":
