The OpenSSL documentation (https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.1.0/man3/HMAC.html)
specifies:
> It places the result in md (which must have space for the output of the hash
> function, which is no more than EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE bytes). If md is NULL, the
> digest is placed in a static array. The size of the output is placed in
> md_len, unless it is NULL. Note: passing a NULL value for md to use the
> static array is not thread safe.
`EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE` appears to be defined as `64`, so let's simply use a stack
buffer to avoid the whole memory management.
