bpo-38270: Check for hash digest algorithms and avoid MD5 by tiran · Pull Request #16382 · python/cpython

The new test helper requires_hashdigest() marks tests that require a
specific hashlib algorithm. If the algorithm is not available or blocked
by a security policy, the test case is skipped.

test_hmac now uses SHA256 instead of MD5 for default constructor tests.
All tests now use requires_hashdigest(), too.

Some test cases for imaplib, poplib, smptlib, and urllib2 require MD5 to
perform digest auth / CRAM-MD5 auth testing. These tests are now marked
as requiring MD5 and skipped when MD5 is not available.

Make it easier to run and test Python on systems with restrict crypto policies:

* add requires_hashdigest to test.support to check if a hash digest algorithm is available and working
* avoid MD5 in test_hmac
* replace MD5 with SHA256 in test_tarfile
* mark network tests that require MD5 for MD5-based digest auth or CRAM-MD5
