[Christian Heimes]

New submission from Christian Heimes <lists at cheimes.de>:

bpo #18582 added a C implementation of PBKDF2 algorithm. Back then Python still supported OpenSSL versions with a slow version of PBKDF2-HMAC. Nowadays all supported OpenSSL versions contain an optimized version of the password derivation algorithm.
