strictly md5
Puppet has an md5 parser function, which returns the MD5 digest of its
argument. On hosts configured for compliance with U.S. Federal
Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2, attempts to use the MD5
algorithm cause errors, because MD5 is no longer FIPS Approved. This
patch adds a parser function called digest, which returns the digest
of its argument using the algorithm named by the digest_algorithm
setting in puppet.conf. Therefore, where md5 may fail on some hosts,
the digest function should always return a value; but the value may
vary if the digest_algorithm setting is changed.
