Description
- use hashlib
- use file uri as input
- request checksum type from user (default to sha2 or md5)
- add 2 Comments[] to each ISA DataFile object
- [ ] Comment[checksum type]
- [ ] Comment[Checksum] - include a flag in the serialization function to request if checksums should be generated or recalculated (avoid to recompute checksum everytime isa objects are serialized

Research direction
Start by locating the ISA DataFile object definition and the serialization function. Check how file URIs and Comments[] are represented, then define done as generating the requested checksum type only when serialization requests it, preserving existing checksums otherwise.
