Provides a cross-platform Tiger hash implementation that supports the flipped byte-order (endianness) of PHP's original Tiger implementation for backwards compatability.

See: [https://github.com/facebook/hhvm/blob/281303d/hphp/runtime/ext/hash/ext_hash.cpp#L94-L97](use in HHVM)
It's main intended use is for the Facebook FBT internationalization framework, where a hashing algorithm is supplied to create unique identifiers from source strings and their descriptions.
NOTE: This implementation is not optimized for reading large blocks of
data or streams. It both expects a simple string AND loads the entire
input into memory in a Buffer.
