This will take an md5sum of the rsync output of both the local and remote trees as they are output by rsync itself. This includes the mode, modify time, full file path, and size. If all attributes of all files match, then the md5 of the rsync listing stream will also match. With this patch, the sync will exit early if it determines that neither a pull nor a push is required.
If the inode of a directory changes (ownership or mode) and nothing else changes in the state of the system, then consider the changes to be insignificant. When a file is modified locally, then proceed to sync the local and remote systems.
For the optimization where the hash of the directory listing is considered and used to decide if it would be safe to skip using `rsync` to sync an identical listing, support macOS where `md5sum` is not the name of the utility.

This is a different idea to the performance from. With this idea, the stream of the Rsync tree listing is MD5'd in sync with the rest of the
analyzeprocessing. If the two trees match according to the MD5 hash, then it is safe to assume that the trees match exactly and the sync can be aborted without further processing or inspection.
