// Special cases for legacy rclone command detection.
// Before rclone v1.49.0 the sftp backend used "echo 'abc' | md5sum" when
// detecting hash support, but was then changed to instead just execute
// md5sum/sha1sum (without arguments), which is handled above. The following
// code is therefore only necessary to support rclone versions older than
// v1.49.0 using a sftp remote connected to a rclone serve sftp instance
// running a newer version of rclone (e.g. latest).
