Make fallback MD5 implementation thread-safe on big-endian systems

hlinnaka · hlinnaka · commit 2676040df0b2 · 2024-08-07T10:43:52.000+03:00
Replace a static scratch buffer with a local variable, because a static buffer makes the function not thread-safe. This function is used in client-code in libpq, so it needs to be thread-safe. It was until commit b67b57a, which replaced the implementation with the one from pgcrypto. Backpatch to v14, where we switched to the new implementation.
