[PATCH v4 2/3] t/lib-httpd: stop using legacy crypt(3) for authentication

When setting up httpd for our tests, we also install a passwd and proxy-passwd file that contain the test user's credentials. These credentials currently use crypt(3) as the password encryption schema.

This schema can be considered deprecated nowadays as it is not safe anymore. Quoting Apache httpd's documentation [1]:

This is starting to cause issues in modern Linux distributions. glibc has deprecated its libcrypt library that used to provide crypt(3) in favor of the libxcrypt library. This newer replacement provides a compile time switch to disable insecure password encryption schemata, which causes crypt(3) to always return `EINVAL`. The end result is that httpd tests that exercise authentication will fail on distros that use libxcrypt without these insecure encryption schematas.

Regenerate the passwd files to instead use the default password encryption schema, which is md5. While it feels kind of funny that an MD5-based encryption schema should be more secure than anything else, it is the current default and supported by all platforms. Furthermore, it really doesn't matter all that much given that these files are only used for testing purposes anyway.
