Make our Webpack config compatible with Node 18+

Node 18 and newer switched to OpenSSL 3, which does not support the MD4
hash algorithm.

Unfortunately, Webpack 4 hardcodes the use of MD4 at various places.
This leaves us no other option than to monkey-patch node to transform
calls to the MD4 hash to use SHA256.
