Feature Request

Cortex to provide hashes when analyzing an observable of dataType "file".
VirusTotal analyzer already look for these hashes:
hashes = self.get_param("attachment.hashes", None)
(see: https://github.com/TheHive-Project/Cortex-Analyzers/blob/master/analyzers/VirusTotal/virustotal.py#L258)

Research direction

Start with the referenced VirusTotal analyzer at analyzers/VirusTotal/virustotal.py around the attachment.hashes lookup, then trace how Cortex passes parameters for observables with dataType "file". Done means analyzers receive the available file hashes during analysis, with the relevant behavior covered by existing tests if present.
