The Gitea team reports:

This PR refactors and improves the password hashing code within gitea and makes it possible for server administrators to set the password hashing parameters.

In addition it takes the opportunity to adjust the settings for pbkdf2 in order to make the hashing a little stronger.

Add command to bulk set must-change-password

As part of administration sometimes it is appropriate to forcibly tell users to update their passwords.

This PR creates a new command gitea admin user must-change-password which will set the MustChangePassword flag on the provided users.
