Public bug reported:

The user guide and admin guide need info about the secure "multihash"
feature.  Both need to describe the idea of the self-describing secure
hash.  Additionally:

admin guide: the os_hash_algo is operator-configurable; explain how

user guide: the os_hash_algo value can be passed to hashlib to obtain a
digest algorithm to validate a download

Current sources for this info are:
(1) description of os_hash_value, os_hash_algo in the api-ref
(2) the multihash spec: https://specs.openstack.org/openstack/glance-specs/specs/rocky/implemented/glance/multihash.html
(3) rocky release notes: https://docs.openstack.org/releasenotes/glance/rocky.html
