Move MD5 hashing to a Data extension and return Data type directly + rename all checksum functions with compute prefix

[dayaffe]

Describe the feature

• Make the MD5 algorithm a Data extension
• Remove the call to base64 encoding
• Rename algorithms to add compute prefix

Use Case

Having the MD5 algorithm as a String extension can lead to issues as it would requires encoding request payloads to utf8 when there is no such restriction. Additionally, adding a base64 encoding limits usage in the SDK when we may not always want the result encoded that way.

Proposed Solution

As state above in feature description.
