Improve SHA-256 documentation

- Rephrase file/function/parameter/enum/define/error descriptions into full
  and clear sentences.
- Make sure to adhere to the Arm writing guidelines.
- Fix missing/incorrect Doxygen tags.
- Standardize terminology used within the file.
- Align deprecated function descriptions with those of the superseding
  functions.
