Implements the MD5 digest algorithm.
NOTE To use MD5, you must explicitly import it with require "digest/md5"
WARNING MD5 is no longer a cryptographically secure hash, and should not be used in security-related components, like password hashing. For passwords, see Crypto::Bcrypt::Password. For a generic cryptographic hash, use SHA-256 via Digest::SHA256.
