Fix the documentation: the module file names are no longer based

on the MD5 but on the CRC of the input strings.

 During development, every time you change the C sources that you pass to
 ``cdef()`` or ``verify()``, then the latter will create a new module
-file name, based on the MD5 hash of these strings.  This creates more
+file name, based on two CRC32 hashes computed from these strings.
+This creates more
 and more files in the ``__pycache__`` directory.  It is recommended that
 you clean it up from time to time.  A nice way to do that is to add, in
 your test suite, a call to ``cffi.verifier.cleanup_tmpdir()``.
