Commit f8547f62c21 ("Use SHA256 not MD5 as default digest") changed the
default hash from md5 to sha256.
This leads to bug reports like this [0] where people can't access their
old encrypted files.
Would it work for if MD5 is tried if the now default options fails the
encryption? I see some output on the console before openssl's error
shows up so it does not look like a one liner.
