Always use OpenSSL constants for Digest operations
As also previously discussed in
https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/40770#issuecomment-748347066, this
moves the usage of Digest constants to always use the OpenSSL version of
those Digest implementations.

  • OpenSSL constants are now used for Digest computations.

  • The Action Cable client now includes safeguards to prevent a "thundering herd" of client reconnects after server connectivity loss:

    • The client will wait a random amount between 1x and 3x of the stale threshold after the server's last ping before making the first reconnection attempt.
    • Subsequent reconnection attempts now use exponential backoff instead of logarithmic backoff. To allow the delay between reconnection attempts to increase slowly at first, the default exponentiation base is < 2.
    • Random jitter is applied to each delay between reconnection attempts.
