[issue4858] Deprecation of MD5

[Lukas Lueg]

As I already said to Raymond: At least we should update the
documentation. The "FAQ" currently linked is from 2005.

The CERT-Advisory from provides a clean and simple language: "In 2008,
researchers demonstrated the practical vulnerability [...] We are
currently unaware of a practical solution to this problem. *Do not use
the MD5 algorithm*."
