Dave Collins c39e35318d Update for recent chainhash-related API changes. (#81)
This updates all code to make use of the new chainhash package since the
old wire.ShaHash type and related functions have been removed in favor
of the abstracted package.

Also, while here, rename all variables that included sha in their name
to include hash instead.
