Adds support for md5 hashes #5

Closed bmquinn closed 7 years ago

bmquinn commented 7 years ago

Adds md5 support using the code and name from https://github.com/multiformats/multihash/blob/master/hashtable.csv

I know the md5 cryptographic hash is obsolete as discussed in the disclaimer, but this functionality would allow handling pre-existing legacy hashes.

I'll add this, thanks!

Indeed, switch to basically anything other than MD5 as soon as possible everybody. :)
