getMD5Hash

 getMD5Hash
   Calculates MD5 hash for a file

   Input:
   inputFile       string with the path to file for which MD5 hash should
                   be calculated
   binEnd          string that shows the operating system running in the
                   client's computer. Use ".exe" for Windows, ".mac" for
                   macOS or leave it blank for Linux (""). (optional, by
                   default the function automatically detects the client's
                   operating system)

   Output:
   md5Hash         string containing an MD5 hash for inputFile
   
 Usage: md5Hash=getMD5Hash(inputFile,binEnd)
