 * Many hash functions operate on blocks of data and implement optimizations
 * when a full chunk of data is readily available. Hence it is often preferable
 * to provide large chunks of data (a kilobyte or more) than to repeatedly
 * call the update method with few tens of bytes. If this is not possible, or
 * not feasible, it might be good to provide data in multiplies of hash block
 * size (often 64 bytes). Please see the implementation and performance tests
 * of your favourite hash.
 *
 * @param {Array.<number>|Uint8Array|string} bytes Data used for the update.
 * @param {number=} opt_length Number of bytes to use.
