docs: <Purpose>
      Determine whether a list of paths are consistent with their alleged path
      hash prefixes. By default, the SHA256 hash function is used.
  
    <Arguments>
      paths:
        A list of paths for which their hashes will be checked.
  
      path_hash_prefixes:
        The list of path hash prefixes with which to check the list of paths.
  
    <Exceptions>
      securesystemslib.exceptions.FormatError:
        If the arguments are improperly formatted.
  
    <Side Effects>
      No known side effects.
  
    <Returns>
      A Boolean indicating whether or not the paths are consistent with the
      hash prefix.
