The internal state in the SHA-256 implementation by Tom St Denis is 8
32-bit state words, two 32-bit length words (total bits and intermediate
bytes) and 0..63 bytes of intermediate state (input bytes) where the
latter are compressed away into the former 8 state words each time a
64th input byte becomes available.
