John Blackbourn d75f025337 Security: Reintroduce support for passwords hashed with MD5. ...

This reinstates the ability for a user to log in to an account where the password is hashed using MD5. This means that the ability to reset a password directly in the database using an SQL query or a database administration tool will be retained without the need to implement or integrate with bcrypt or phpass.

A password hashed with MD5 will get upgraded to bcrypt at the point where a user successfully logs in, just as is the case with a phpass hash.
