hashes: Remove mention of HashEngine::BYTES
We removed this but missed one spot in the docs.
What changed, and why it matters
This commit is a documentation-only cleanup. It removes a stale reference in a code comment to a type parameter (`HashEngine::BYTES`) that had already been removed from the code. No executable code was changed, and there is no security impact.
No action required. This is a non-functional documentation fix.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The diff modifies a doc comment inside hashes/src/internal_macros.rs. The comment previously stated that a HashEngine must implement crate::HashEngine<Hash = Hash, Bytes = [u8; $len]>. Since the Bytes associated type was already removed from the trait, the comment was outdated. The patch simply deletes the Bytes = [u8; $len] part, leaving only the Default requirement. No Rust source code, trait bounds, or logic changed.
