base-files: allow skipping of hash verification

When calling a download target, hash verification is now completely
skipped if we set PKG_HASH=skip.

This allows to easily bump package version:

$ make package/<mypackage>/download PKG_HASH=skip V=s
$ make package/<mypackage>/check FIXUP=1 V=s

This will download the new version of the package, and then automatically
update PKG_HASH with the hash of the new version.  Of course, it is still
the responsibility of the packager to ensure that the new tarball is
legitimate, because it is downloaded from a possibly untrusted source.
