[issue15468] Edit docs to hide hashlib.md5()

[Gregory P. Smith]

Gregory P. Smith <greg at krypto.org> added the comment:

The only edit that is needed is for md5 to be documented as unavailable when Python has been compiled in FIPS-compliant mode.  Most of the world does not and will never use that mode.

md5 is still a perfectly good algorithm for many uses and is required for legacy reasons to support the decades of already deployed uses of md5.
