Fix Coverity warning about contrib/pgcrypto's mdc_finish().
Coverity points out that mdc_finish returns a pointer to a local buffer
(which of course is gone as soon as the function returns), leaving open
a risk of misbehaviors possibly as bad as a stack overwrite.
In reality, the only possible call site is in process_data_packets()
which does not examine the returned pointer at all. So there's no
live bug, but nonetheless the code is confusing and risky. Refactor
to avoid the issue by letting process_data_packets() call mdc_finish()
directly instead of going through the pullf_read() API.
Although this is only cosmetic, it seems good to back-patch so that
the logic in pgp-decrypt.c stays in sync across all branches.
