Mark non-security md5 usage to allow for compatibility with fips environments

[mykaul]

Summary

• Cherry-pick of apache/cassandra-python-driver@f685c2c
• Marks the non-security md5 usage in MD5Token.hash_fn with usedforsecurity=False so the driver works in FIPS-enforced Python environments, which reject non-approved hash algorithms unless explicitly marked as not used for security purposes.

Test plan

• Ran the unit test suite (tests/unit) locally; test_metadata.py passes in full, including all MD5Token/Token tests
• Remaining failures in the full suite are pre-existing environment gaps (missing optional Cython/Twisted/lz4 dependencies), unrelated to this change

Warning

Review limit reached

@mykaul, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 44 minutes

Limit details: You’ve used all 3 included reviews currently available under your plan.

Enable usage-based reviews in Billing to review now. Otherwise, wait until the next included review is available.
You're only billed for reviews past your plan's rate limits ($0.25/file).

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

MD5Token.hash_fn now calls md5 with usedforsecurity=False. The function retains its existing digest conversion and absolute-value behavior.
