remove built-in support for md5crypt()

Users of MD5-hashed password should arrange for ./configure to link
against libxcrypt or similar. Though it would be better to avoid use
of MD5 password hashing entirely, it's arguably worse than DEScrypt.

INSTALL

 --with-osfsia, --without-osfsia will enable or disable OSF1's Security
 Integration Architecture.  The default for OSF1 machines is enable.
 
---with-md5-passwords will enable the use of MD5 passwords. Enable this
-if your operating system uses MD5 passwords and the system crypt() does
-not support them directly (see the crypt(3/3c) man page). If enabled, the
-resulting binary will support both MD5 and traditional crypt passwords.
-
 --with-utmpx enables utmpx support. utmpx support is automatic for
 some platforms.
