   PR for [NUTCH-3209](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-3209)
   
   I addressed some minor formatting and Javadoc whilst in these files but made sure not to overdo it.
   
   New unit test `testCreateFileNameFromUrl`.
   
   Thanks for any review.

> SonarCloud flags two uses of DigestUtils.sha1Hex (java:S4790, "Weak hashing algorithms should not be used") on master:
> - org.apache.nutch.util.DumpFileUtil#createFileNameFromUrl
> - org.apache.nutch.tools.CommonCrawlDataDumper (reverse-key construction)
> Both hash a URL to name dump directories / Common Crawl reverse-key values. This is fingerprinting for filesystem and JSON layout, not password storage or cryptographic integrity of crawl data.
> Replace SHA-1 with SHA-256 (DigestUtils.sha256Hex), which satisfies S4790 for non-sensitive fingerprinting. commons-codec is already a dependency.
> Compatibility: dump path leaves and reverse-key strings will change (40-char hex -> 64-char hex). Re-running a dump into an existing output tree will not collocate files with older SHA-1 directories. CrawlDb signatures (MD5Signature / db.signature.class) are unchanged.
> Out of scope: Hadoop MD5Hash usage (DumpFileUtil.getUrlMD5, MD5Signature, TextMD5Signature, TextProfileSignature) is not reported by this Sonar rule and would be a separate, more compatibility-sensitive change.
> Test: extend DumpFileUtilTest to cover createFileNameFromUrl.
