Implement Endpoint: /core/checksums

[chuckadams]

An artisan command to build the table of versions to checksums would be quite handy.

From docs:

Returns a JSON encoded array of file MD5 checksums for a given WordPress release / locale. Although english is the default, it's suggested to pass it for 100% compatibility with core.

Note that MD5 hashes are not cryptographically secure and should not be relied on to detect malicious changes to WordPress files.

I can only find plugin checksums code in the .org repo. This is another /core API that's a black box.
