Backport of #27104.

MD5 is an insecure cryptogrpahic hashing algorithm and is therefore blocked in FIPS mode. NumPy uses MD5 has digest algorithm without any security requirements. Use usedforsecurity=False flag to tell OpenSSL that the use of MD5 is okay in FIPS enforcing mode. I implemented the flag in Python 3.9 for exactly this purpose

Fixes: #27099
