The modification of existing core source files to add new hashcat kernels conflicts with the idea of having private hashcat kernel repositories especially when backporting latest hashcat core changes and new features.
The final outcome of this should be a plugin format that does not require modifications on the core soruce files.
Also convert all existing hash-modes to hashcat modules.
We'll start with dynamic loading the modules at runtime rather than linking them at compile time.
This will require some extra code for different OS types but should beneficial on a long term.
This commit add some first ideas of how such modules could look like, however there's no dynamic loading interface yet.
Next steps will be removing all hash-mode depending special code from source files and move them to the modules.
Finally merge with master.
