Confusing sha512 in README.md #2

@Schaeff

Description

@Schaeff
raw_msg = "This is my secret message"
msg = hashlib.sha512(raw_msg.encode("utf-8")).digest()

People misunderstood this sha512 call as part of the signature, where it's just a way to compress the input to 512bits. We should make it clear that EdDSA does not make use of sha512.
