Fix detection of passwords hashed with MD5
This commit fixes an issue related to the way password verifiers hashed
with MD5 are detected, leading to possibly detect that plain passwords
are legit MD5 hashes. A MD5-hashed entry was checked based on if its
header uses "md5" and if the string length matches what is expected.
Unfortunately the code never checked if the hash only used hexadecimal
characters after the three-character prefix.
Fix 9.6 down to 9.4, where this code is present. This area of the code
has changed in 10 and upwards with the introduction of SCRAM, which led
to a different fix committed as of ccae190.
