[New-bugs-announce] [issue44309] Add support for yescrypt in crypt.

[Björn Esser]

New submission from Björn Esser <besser82 at fedoraproject.org>:

Proposed PR adds support for a new method in the crypt module:

yescrypt. It is considered stronger as SHA512 or blowfish and as strong as argon2 for crypt() purpose. The hashing method was developed by the author of the blowfish crypt method, and was based on scrypt. It is supported on most Linux distributions, that ship with libxcrypt as a replacement for the glibc crypt library: Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, OpenSUSE and many others.
