Use more lightweight sha256 implementation
See original GitHub issueUsing sh256 via create-hash pulls in a bunch of dependencies we don’t need, like cipher-base, md5.js and ripemd160.
cipher-base is particularly problematic for everyone switching from Webpack 4 to Webpack 5 or using other reasonably modern bundlers because it requires node’s stream: https://github.com/crypto-browserify/cipher-base/blob/v1.0.4/index.js#L7. This causes hard to debug and support problems downstream, like https://github.com/cosmos/cosmjs/issues/925.
I think it would be much nicer to use a dependency that only implements sha256. This could be sha.js or something else, but sha.js is used already anyways.

If I get a 👍 for such a change, I’m happy to create a PR.
Here are noble crypro benchmarks from my machine. The 3rd block with 2048 iterations is what matters to this use case. So as long as we are happy with those timings, we can build this lib on @noble/hashes for both sha256 and pbkdf2.
