Summary: digestsize variable for the md5 module

Initial Comment:
The sha module has a digestsize constant (which is 20)
which makes it easy to know how large space to use
(e.g. in a database), while the md5 module doesn't. Yes
I know that it IS 16, but ideally, the two modules
would have the same interface and you could do tricks
like this:

insize = globals()[digestname].digestsize

So, I included a patch to md5module.c that adds a
digestsize constant both to the md5 objects and to the
module dictionary, as in the sha module.
