implement the md5() SQL-level function). The old code did the following: 1. de-toast the datum 2. convert it to a cstring via textout() 3. get the length of the cstring via strlen() Since we are treating the datum context as a blob of binary data, the latter two steps are unnecessary. Once the data has been detoasted, we can just use it as-is, and derive its length from the varlena metadata. This patch improves some run-of-the-mill md5() computations by just under 10% in my limited tests, and passes the regression tests. I also noticed that md5_text() wasn't checking the return value of md5_hash(); encountering OOM at precisely the right moment could result in returning a random md5 hash. This patch corrects that. A better fix would be to make md5_hash() only return on success (and/or allocate via palloc()), but since it's used in the frontend as well I don't see an easy way to do that.
