Add configuration file for Hamming distance algorithm

Hamming distance configuration file to supplement distance_euclidean.py and distance_cosine.py in bob.bio.base algorithm configs.

assigned to @mguenther

Will let @mguenther take care of that...

It is not a good idea to set is_distance_function to False when it is a distance function. The problem here is that it cannot be used in the bob.bio framework as we require to return similarity values (i.e. negative distances) for the evaluation to work correctly.

changed this line in version 2 of the diff

Changed to True. I had set it to False for a previous project because I needed the values to be positive.

Maybe you also want to register this as a resource in setup.py, see: https://gitlab.idiap.ch/bob/bob.bio.base/blob/75fa5d37557993947c6cd84b5089ed63e766b5e0/setup.py#L108

Compare with previous version

Done. Sorry, slipped my mind!

No worries. There is no-one that knows all the limitations better than me -- I have implemented this package ;-)
