This sounds like this patch specifically wants to drop the check from
bdrv_quorum_init().

I think keeping the check would be better; while we can probably assume
that SHA256 is supported if CONFIG_GNUTLS_HASH is defined, it would
still technically be better to actually check for that support.

However, since this is probably only a theoretical issue, if there's a
good reason (like preparation for dynamic block driver modules) for
having to drop the check from bdrv_quorum_init(), I think it's alright
to do so.
