As far as transitions go, this one should be fairly easy - the public
interface only changed for one function, and the old one is still available
but deprecated, so anything using rust-md5 0.7 should be fine with rust-md5
0.8 as well.

Just in case this unblocks you - the inverse is also true, you can downgrade
to md5 = ">= 0.7, < 0.9" and replace the calls to finalize() with compute()
in dufs, and the resulting package should work with both md5 0.7 and 0.8
