…by default load of FIPS-forbidden MD5 digest algorithm. Incorporate the source from the abandoned www-authenticate project to lib/www-authenticate-patched, and fix in place. Changes to www-authenticate-patched include: removal of unnecessary pre-load of MD5 digester function from www-authenticate and md5 js files, use of Buffer.from rather than new Buffer (deprecated), and moving a prototype decl to after function has been defined. Add Progress copyright and typedef comment to Authenticator.

Adding a blank line at the beginning of the file serves no functional purpose and reduces code quality. Consider removing this unnecessary whitespace.
