Avoid fragile aliasing of SHA224/384 update/final

This is purported to save a few cycles, but makes the code less
obvious and more brittle, and in fact breaks on platforms where for
ABI continuity reasons there is a SHA2 implementation in libc, and
so EVP needs to call those to avoid conflicts.

A sufficiently good optimizer could simply generate the same entry
points for:

        foo(...) { ... }
    and
        bar(...) { return foo(...); }

but, even without that, the different is negligible, with the
"winner" varying from run to run (openssl speed -evp sha384):
