Add support for prefetching fields This makes it possible to specify the fields that should be prefetched as part of a getForFields query. Doing a prefetch on a ReferenceProperty when it is known that the property will be referenced in (almost all) entities is far more efficient than doing the invididual fetches sequentially.

The md5 and sha modules are deprecated since Python 2.5, replaced by the
hashlib module containing both hash algorithms. Here, we provide a common
interface to the md5 and sha constructors, preferring the hashlib module when
available.
