…round exception caused by default load of FIPS-forbidden MD5 digest algorithm. Incorporate the source from the abandoned www-authenticate project and fix in place.

[Copilot]

Pull Request Overview

This PR fixes a FIPS compliance issue where MD5 digest algorithms were being loaded by default, causing exceptions in FIPS-enabled Linux environments. The solution incorporates code from the abandoned www-authenticate project directly into the codebase and ensures MD5 is only loaded when actually needed.

• Removes external dependency on www-authenticate package
• Incorporates www-authenticate source code into the project with lazy MD5 loading
• Adds comprehensive FIPS testing to verify MD5 is not loaded during module initialization
