Instead of relying on Python's built-in hash function to hash the contents of a document (i.e. metadata and data values), sha256 from hashlib is used instead, mostly for security purposes.

Felipe Monteiro 8bf4f7407d Revamp document hashing

This PS revamps document hashing. Instead of relying on Python's
built-in hash function to hash the contents of a document (i.e.
metadata and data values), sha256 from hashlib is used instead,
mostly for security purposes.

Further, new parameters have been added to the document DB model:
data_hash and metadata_hash, and the old value hash has been
dropped. The data type for storing the hashes has been changed
to String from BigInt.

Finally, testing documentation was added.
