Hash: SHA1

Hello,

I just added a few more fixup commits to the staging branch:

  https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/commits/staging

* Apparently, there are some versions of sha1sum that expect
  exactly two space characters between the hashsum and the filename
  when performing the check (using -c as argument). I had to adjust
  the prepare_port tool to generate this format.

* I was asked by Martin Stein why I picked <finger-print>-<port-name>
  as the name of the port directory. Putting the port name at the
  beginning of the name would be more convenient when listing the
  content of the contrib/ dir. There was actually no particular reason.
  So I changed the order. Thanks for the good suggestion!

Cheers
Norman
