Try to use hashlib in Python implementation and fall back to md5 if we can't 
find it
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: AVRO-451
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-451
             Project: Avro
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: python
    Affects Versions: 1.3.0
            Reporter: Jeff Hammerbacher


hashlib, new in 2.5, seems to be the better way to do things 
(http://docs.python.org/library/hashlib.html). We want to support Python 2.4, 
so the best way to handle this situation is to try to import hashlib and fall 
back to md5 if we can't find it (similar to the json/simplejson dance).
