James Russell 71230f918f Add module READMEs, .gitignore, and remove Bin/ from tracking
Add README.md for each library module documenting API, platform
backends, and usage. Add .gitignore for build artifacts. Remove
pre-built binaries from version control.

# libsst-crypto
Lightweight string hashing functions for hash tables and name interning.
## Hash functions
| Function | Output | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `SST_Crypto_HashDJB2` | 64-bit | djb2 hash variant |
| `SST_Crypto_HashJ6` | 32-bit | Java 6 String hash |
| `SST_Crypto_HashJCR2` | 64-bit | Collision-free up to length 8 for ASCII |
| `SST_Crypto_HashSDBM` | 32-bit | sdbm hash (Berkeley DB) |
| `SST_Crypto_HashCRC32` | 32-bit | CRC-32C checksum |
All functions take `(const char* string, size_t len)`.
Types: `SST_HashValue32` (`uint32_t`), `SST_HashValue64` (`uint64_t`).
These are non-cryptographic hashes intended for fast lookups, not security.
