Description

Added password hashing API

Deprecated the old User::crypt, et. al password hashing
system and implemented an extensible password hashing
API.

The new Password class allows registering of child classes
and provides factory functions for creating new Password
objects. The built-in hash types are the old MediaWiki MD5
types, which are for backwards-compatibility only, and bcrypt.

Also included is support for wrapping existing hashes as well
as encrypting passwords with a configured encryption key.
