For SSDs, `blake3` is about 10x faster than `blake3_single` - 3 files/second vs 30 files/second.
For spinning HDDs, `blake3` is about 100x slower than `blake3_single` - 300 seconds/file vs 3 seconds/file.
For external drives, `blake3` is always worse, but the difference is highly variable. For external spinning drives, it's probably way worse than internal.
The least offensive algorithm is `blake3_single`, and it's still _much_ faster than any other algorithm.
BLAKE3 has poor performance on spinning disks when parallelized. See https://github.com/BLAKE3-team/BLAKE3/issues/31
- Replace `skip_model_hash` setting with `hashing_algorithm`. Any algorithm we support is accepted.
- Add `random` algorithm: hashes a UUID with BLAKE3 to create a random "hash". Equivalent to the previous skip functionality.
- Add `blake3_single` algorithm: hashes on a single thread using BLAKE3, fixes the aforementioned performance issue
- Update model probe to accept the algorithm to hash with as an optional arg, defaulting to `blake3`
- Update all calls of the probe to use the app's configured hashing algorithm
- Update an external script that probes models
- Update tests
- Move ModelHash into its own module to avoid circuclar import issues
