Code Issues Proposed changes

Use SHA256 instead of MD5 in completion cache

Browse Source 
FIPS 140 are U.S. government computer security standards that specify
requirements for cryptography modules. MD5 is not FIPS compliant [1].
Previously, MD5 was used as the hash algorithm for the bash completion
cache. Hosts running in FIPS mode [2] block execution of the MD5 hash.
This makes python-novaclient unusable on FIPS-enabled machines. This
patch replaces MD5 with SHA256, which is FIPS compliant.
