OK, so let's do that first correctly. Attached are two patches:
- 0001 moves md5 to src/common
- 0002 that does the same for ip.c.
By the way, it seems to me that having be-ip.c is not that much worth
it. I am noticing that only pg_range_sockaddr could be marked as
backend-only. pg_foreach_ifaddr is being used as well by
tools/ifaddrs/, and this one calls as well pg_sockaddr_cidr_mask. Or
is there still some utility in having src/tools/ifaddrs? If not we
could move pg_sockaddr_cidr_mask and pg_foreach_ifaddr to be
backend-only. With pg_range_sockaddr that would make half the routines
to be marked as backend-only.

I have not rebased the whole series yet of SCRAM... I'll do that after
we agree on those two patches with the two commits you have already
done cleaned up of course (thanks btw for those ones!).
