sbin/md5.c patch

This week I was running into a stupid compare issue 

Transferring a bigger image from a vendor who publish also the check sums but
stupidly in UPPERCASE (seems to be a default on some sites)

After feeding the checksum to 'sha256 -c E975548260B65C79AF... $download_file'
and getting a failed back I wiped the file from disk and noticed <arrg>
checksum was correct but in UPPERCASE ...

The attached patch will convert an UPPERCASE checksum before comparing into
lowercase (will help every FreeBSD user downloading files from HP)
