Backport #9152 to 1.8
Description
This PR improves error handling, particularly in FIPS-enabled systems that are unable to calculate MD5 hashes used for security reasons. If the provided known hash in a link for a dependency is MD5, this PR makes it so that FIPS systems can fallback to SHA256 instead.
