Add mkpasswd as htpasswd generator

[tats-u]

mkpasswd command is the best for the Basic authentication password hash string generator for the following reasons:

• Supports all of yescrypt, SHA512Crypt, and bcrypt. yescrypt is the most tolerable against the offline GPU attack among algorithms provided by crypt() and the default algorithm in Ubuntu. openssl passwd doesn't support bcrypt or yescrypt.
• Can adjust stretching amount. openssl passwd cannot do it.
• Uses the most recommended algorithm used as the algorithm of /etc/shadow by default. openssl passwd uses the stale MD5Crypt by default.

mkpasswd is included in the package mkpasswd (RHEL 9+) / whois (Ubuntu).

Note: that included in the expect package is completely different. Its command name was duplicated in RHEL 8 or prior but renamed in RHEL 9 or later or Ubuntu.

$ mkpasswd -m bcrypt -R 11
Password:

$ mkpasswd -m yescrypt

Hi @tats-u ,

Thank you for your contribution. I would suggest concatenating the two patches into one and removing the installation options for consistency with the htpasswd / openssl passwd commands, for example,
"can be generated using
the “htpasswd” utility from the Apache HTTP Server
distribution, the “mkpasswd”, or the “openssl passwd” command;"

Also, please refer to our README.md for:

• the commit log style, for example: "Added mkpasswd as htpasswd generator."
• a version bump of the page: rev="11"> instead of rev="10">
  Thank you.

Do you mean reverting 3b08b0a? I think + and - are swapped.

[y82]

yes, just mentioning the mkpasswd would be fine.

I could not help mentioning whois command (mkpasswd is derived from it) in favor of RHEL 8 users.
