Description

Release policy was updated around 9/2018 to state:

"For new releases, PMCs MUST supply SHA-256 and/or SHA-512; and SHOULD NOT supply MD5 or SHA-1. Existing releases do not need to be changed."

build.xml needs to be updated from MD5 & SHA-1 to, at least, SHA-256 or both. cassandra-builds/cassandra-release scripts need to be updated to work with the new checksum files.
