Hack webpack to not use MD4

OpenSSL 3 removed support for MD4, the default hashFunction.
As the issue describes, the proper fix here is to move to webpack 5.

Moving to webpack 5 requires numerous changes.

Attempted moving to webpack 5 but migration requires a ton of changes.

This solution is from:
https://github.com/webpack/webpack/issues/13572#issuecomment-923736472

This should enable the new Yocto bump to pass.

Tested: npm install && npm run-script build and loaded those onto a
        Witherspoon system. Yocto bump with this change built.

  • Power On/Off server operations
  • Reboot BMC
  • SOL console

Requirements

nodejs (>= 4.2.6) npm (>= 6.0.1)

Note The default installation of your Linux distro may not come with the required versions above. See the following for more information on updating:

https://docs.npmjs.com/troubleshooting/try-the-latest-stable-version-of-node https://docs.npmjs.com/troubleshooting/try-the-latest-stable-version-of-npm

Installation

npm install

Note This must be run from within the phosphor-webui git repository.

Running locally

npm run-script server

This will start a server instance and begin listening for connections at http://localhost:8080. This development server provides live reloading on code changes. NOTE: Browsing to https://<BMC> and accepting the self-signed certificate might be required to prevent your browser from blocking traffic to the BMC.

Logging in

Enter the BMC Host or BMC IP address, username, and password. The default username and password are root/0penBmc.

Note that some OpenBMC implementations use bmcweb for its backend. For security reasons, bmcweb will need to be recompiled and loaded onto the target BMC Host before the above redirect command will work. The option to turn on within bmcweb is BMCWEB_INSECURE_DISABLE_XSS_PREVENTION. In order to test locally, you will also need to disable CSRF by turning on BMCWEB_INSECURE_DISABLE_CSRF_PREVENTION.
