Michael Paquier 4f48a6fbe2 Change SHA2 implementation based on OpenSSL to use EVP digest routines
The use of low-level hash routines is not recommended by upstream
OpenSSL since 2000, and pgcrypto already switched to EVP as of 5ff4a67.
This takes advantage of the refactoring done in 87ae969 that has
introduced the allocation and free routines for cryptographic hashes.

Since 1.1.0, OpenSSL does not publish the contents of the cryptohash
contexts, forcing any consumers to rely on OpenSSL for all allocations.
Hence, the resource owner callback mechanism gains a new set of routines
to track and free cryptohash contexts when using OpenSSL, preventing any
risks of leaks in the backend.  Nothing is needed in the frontend thanks
to the refactoring of 87ae969, and the resowner knowledge is isolated
into cryptohash_openssl.c.

Note that this also fixes a failure with SCRAM authentication when using
FIPS in OpenSSL, but as there have been few complaints about this
problem and as this causes an ABI breakage, no backpatch is done.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
