This commit heavily reorganizes the MD5 implementations that exist in the tree in various aspects. First, MD5 is added to the list of options available in cryptohash.c and cryptohash_openssl.c. This means that if building with OpenSSL, EVP is used for MD5 instead of the fallback implementation that Postgres had for ages. With the recent refactoring work for cryptohash functions, this change is straight-forward. If not building with OpenSSL, a fallback implementation internal to src/common/ is used. Second, this reduces the number of MD5 implementations present in the tree from two to one, by moving the KAME implementation from pgcrypto to src/common/, and by removing the implementation that existed in src/common/. KAME was already structured with an init/update/final set of routines by pgcrypto (see original pgcrypto/md5.h) for compatibility with OpenSSL, so moving it to src/common/ has proved to be a straight-forward move, requiring no actual manipulation of the internals of each routine. Some benchmarking has not shown any performance gap between both implementations. Similarly to the fallback implementation used for SHA2, the fallback implementation of MD5 is moved to src/common/md5.c with an internal header called md5_int.h for the init, update and final routines. This gets then consumed by cryptohash.c. The original routines used for MD5-hashed passwords are moved to a separate file called md5_common.c, also in src/common/, aimed at being shared between all MD5 implementations as utility routines to keep compatibility with any code relying on them. Like the SHA2 changes, this commit had its round of tests on both Linux and Windows, across all versions of OpenSSL supported on HEAD, with and even without OpenSSL.

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
